Glad to hear, Herman is doing fine.

What have you been feeding him?

I'd say he isn't a box turtle, as most box turtles don't have webbed feet and aren't aquatic. Some are though, so you may be right. If he can close up completely in his shell, then he is a box turtle. Turtles have different ways of pulling into their shells. My box turtles have hinges on the bottom of their shells which allows them to pull their limbs all the way inside and close up their shells, sealed off from the rest of the world. When they do that, you cannot see them at all. Except for their shell, ofcourse.

Take a trip to the library and lookup turtles too. That'll help. Or when you're in the book store look through a book on reptiles and turtles to identify which one you have.
