Default Aquarium turtle

Hi all

I have been given a tropical aquarium turtle but have no idea about him/her. Any info, links etc would be appreciated.

He is only small, about an inch and a half long, maybe two when the head is out, he also has an orange and black belly.

I will try to figure out uploading pictures then post one up if it will help.

Many thx

Bob

Once piccies are posted, we can tell you what species you have. But until then, we cant help on the care as we dont know what it is.

Though it does have very similar head markings to this common musk (the white stripes), though the shell is very different.
