>>319726 The way most people use it a tortoise is strictly terrestrial, while turtles and terrapins are aquatic.
In more semi-correct laymans terms terrapins and tortoises are BOTH turtles, one being the aquatic and one the terrestrial respectivly.
There is not much scientific taxonomic use of them except for the fact most are in the same genus, etc...but the box turtle, a "tortoise" is in the "Terrapene" genus, so whatever
