So I found a turtle!!

I dont know what type it is though.
Im not sure what to feed it or how to take care of it without knowing the type.

Where (geographically) did you find it and it's easier to identify turtle species from the TOP.

Get foodsticks at walmart and crickets from your petstore. I have a turtle that is very similar to that slider and that's what I feed it.

Oh, make sure that it has deep enough water. These kinds can't swallow food above water. Give it plenty of swimming space aswell.

buy some feeder fish or turtle pellets.....get a big rubbermaid and fil it up with water so he can swim in it for the time being. also he needs to bask so might want to get a basking light....although he might be to freaked out to bask right now but if u decide to keep him he'll eventually feel more comfortable and bask in front of you.

Are you kidding red eared sliders owe their species success to humans kidnapping them.

Basically you should keep it in the biggest aquarium or rubber maid container you can get your hands on. Keep the water clean. Provide basking spots, and use reptile lights. Feed it turtle food.
