A neighbor across the street from me found a turtle about
a week ago. He said he didn't want to keep it as a pet or anything, but was afraid it would be run over by a passing car,
so he's been keeping it in an old fish tank on his front porch.
I noticed the tank from my front porch the other day & thought
it was a gerbil or hamster. I went over to ask him about it & he
told me how he found it walking down the sidewalk.(the turtle).
Anyhow, the turtle has a flat shaped shell & red & black strips
on it's underside. He said it might be a "pippen". He's
feeding it bread and baloney. I 'm thinking about asking him to
let me have it & then releasing the turtle in one of our state
parks. It really bothers me to see it in this tank day after day.
