What is my species

Hello my name is TobyTurtle. Could some one write back to this family
that found me so that hopefully they will leave me alone.

I live on their creek which is really nice. It has a nice pond and
lots of vegetation around to hide and find lots of food.

Today was a nice beautiful San Diego day and they were nice enough to
bring me turkey and lettuce. He he, which one do you think I ate right
away?

Here are my pictures.

Can someone write back and tell them in plain english who am I and
maybe how old I am. Maybe you can tell by my size. What do you expect?
They do not speak turtle. I tried to tell him but he did not
understand me.

I do want to say sorry for hissing at him. The owner of the creek
tried to pick me up and I was not happy. He looked under my belly and
told his wife I was a male. Duh! my name is TobyTurtle.

Thanks!

Not painted. Wrong color and design on the ear.

Try the net on California turtles.

Here is a site with California painted turtles. Unlike Eastern, they seem
to have yellow and black.

If you go by eastern reptiles and amphibian guides it is not a Chicken, not
enough lines on the face for an adult and it could be a Stinkpot or a kind
of Mud turtle. It is hard to tell with the mud on the shell covering up the
pattern.

You might try calling your vet or the manager
of a pet store in your area and ask if they know of a turtle rehabber.
These kind folks are turtle experts and take in unwanted and/or sick turtles.
They would probably know what species the turtle is and if he is native to your
area and give you information about the turtle's needs.
