What kind of turtle?

22 16:04:06

Question

Turtle 1
I was mowing the lawn on Friday and looked up to see this fine fellow coming to visit --- he was not at all afraid and walked up the path to my house.  He walked by the house, munched on a couple of leaves, then wandered off.  Not sure if he is someone's pet --- he seems too clean to be a wild turtle.  And not sure where he lives or if he'll return.   I hope he comes back.  I live in east Delray Beach but not really close to any waterway.  If I see him again, what should I do to make him feel welcome and safe??

Answer
Hello this is a Red foot tortosie. Youre in Delray which is not far from me. Let me know if you see him again.

He is a red foot needs moist home, fruits and vegis, loves bananas.
They can carry parasites organisms, if you are to pick it up be sure to wash your hands
