ID this Turtle

[mshill90]

Can anyone ID this for me?

Was rescued out of an abandoned apartment- has a brownish belly and has spot like marking on it's skin.

I am thinking about taking him in.

You need better pictures than that.......It "looks" like a few things, but who knows untill better pictures are taken......

This is not my turtle, so I can't readily get more pics..

Any Idea where I can look to find what it may be?

First that pop to mind are reeves turtle or maybe a Kwangtung river turtle these are just guesses the pics are bad.

almost looks like a diamondback terrapin (look at its head)

^ I agree. That's the first thing that popped into my head.

Looks like a Venezuelan slider to me

I am going to get the guy- then I can get more pics, and go out and get all that he needs.

I've taken all of the species mentioned and looked them up, and I'm still not convinced it looks like any of them.

It was mentioned being a northern diamond back terrapin, but I don't see the resemblance.

also think it is a diamond back terrapin

I thought it was a DBT, but again, it could be a few things.......
