#2268635 Jackii View Profile	Turtle Identification I have a baby aquatic turtle, and living nowhere near any water, I wondered whee the heck he came from! He was dry as bone but when I put him in water (I knew he was aquatic beforehand, he has webbed feet) and he was (and is still) swimming happily. He has a ridge on his back and the scales that fringe his top shell are serrated. The bottom shell is symmetrically patterned and he has some yellow lines on his body. I’ll get pictures later. And how do you go about feeding a baby turtle???

#2273736 Ben Dover View Profile	Message To: Jackii   In reference to Message Id: 2273703  Turtle Identification If he has a fully circle iris he is most likely a Mississippi, if his eyes look kinda squinted then it’s a common map. It sounds like a map though either way. Does it’s shell have pale yellow squiggly marks all over? And it should also have yellow and/or greenish lines on it’s body
