I had 3 3 turtles dropped off to me at work yesterday as red ears
1 was a northern diamond back terrapin and a Mississippi mud
The other one I'm not sure what it is exactly it's the same type of turtle in the pic but it's shell is severely damaged by malnutrition and husbandry habits the other two are completely fine
Sorry about picture quality

Congratulations, it's a can of food! I'm not sure if you meant to upload that pic or not but if you send us a photo of the turtle we can probably help you.


FYI, the turtle on that can looks like a male 3-toed Box Turtle.
 
The picture on the food is the same type of turtle I have at home that I'm trying to ID
I'll get better pics of the actual turtle when I get home
I was leaning more towards a wood turtle of sum sort
I'm pretty positive is not a box turtle

From the quick search I did on a break it looks like a central American wood but with out the colorful shell
Or possibly a south american wood
I'll have to do some further searching to figure out the actual type

man, he is in bad shape. Hopefully you can pull him around.

I believe it was damage that was done a long while ago
It looks like the newer growth is better
His skin and eyes appear to be healthy no discharge any were the vent is clean with no smeared waste
And he fills nice and heavy
What is your guess on what he is ?
The first post has a picture of a turtle on some food he is that type .
Does anyone know why my pictures I upload are all jacked up
Not just this post but all of them
There fine and good looking till I up load them

A Pancake turtle?
 
Give him sun light. Whatever has happened to it happened a long time ago.

Enjoy it and give it a good life.
