I watch this little fella everyday from my apartment balcony. He just floats along in a small pond across the lot. Yesterday some teens caught him on a fishing line, so I took him inside to remove the hook. It took some time (he wasn't very cooperative), but I finally got the hook out. I also treated the area with a light 2% chlorhexidine solution. (I also noticed a bit of shellrot.) He seems fine now and is already back in the pond. Any idea what kind of turtle this is? (I'm in upstate SC.)



Also, I used to own a pair of Russian Tortoises, and I remember that you could easily distinguish males from females in that species by the tail. Does this hold true with this species of turtle? (That would make it a male.)



Just curious...
