State: Louisiana

A: If you want to keep this turtle, you first need to find out exactly what kind you have so you'll know what it needs to live. You can either write back with a good description of what it looks like, its size, and the kind of habitat you found it in or you can go online to see if you can find a picture of it and then go from there. There are many kinds of turtles living in Louisiana so you'll need some careful looking to find out what you have. Once you know what you have you can begin to find out how that turtle lives and what it eats and how to care for it. Having a pet turtle can be lots of fun but only if you are able to properly care for it so it is healthy. Good luck to you.
