Turtle experts needed

[snakeguy101]

Hey, My boss sent me this and I need to know what kind of turtle it is. I do not have any other pictures but even a Genus name would do. Thanks.

I'm fairly certain that I'm on to what it is; give me a little bit more time to be sure. Right now I'm thinking Chersina spp. though.

EDIT: Forgot that there's only one member of Chersina, so I say Chersina angulata.

Agreed, possibly an angulata.

 

[Vicious_Fish]

I'll go with that too.

I sent this shot to Mark O'Shea and Dick Bartlett, they came up with the same species so I imagine Chersina angulata is correct. Thanks for your help guys.

That is one rare and higly sough after toise you got there. How did your boss aquire it? You know how to take care of it rigth? Its not rocket science but this aint like a red foot either.

[snakeguy101]

nah, not mine, I don't know why he has the pic but someone sent it to him asking it what it was and he sent it to me and I asked around. They are cool though.

There are a few guys in Spain that breed them, however even babys are very expensive.
