What Kind of Turtle?

[Bigcypresshunter]

I eyeballed this little guy last night crawling across my front porch and I dont live on the water. What kind of turtle is this? It has little red spot on its neck or ears. I live in South Florida. Is it native? What do I feed it?

He/she is a beauty. I like the design pattern on the under side. Looks like enchanted spells. It's a warlock turtle!

if you feed it
it will become habituated to people ='ing food and if you release
maybe maybe not ask around

when we caught wild turtles as kids they woundnt eat until we werent around so

...he wouldnt eat while I watched ....true. But i only had two days and the little turd escaped... no worry. He was a frisky little...
