Introducing my new pet turtle


I found this baby box turtle today. It is a girl. I named her Rosemary. Rose after me, and Mary after my grandma who loves turtles a lot. I call my grandma Mar-Mar. Rosemary eats worms right now. We looked up what she eats and what kind of turtle she is. When she gets bigger she will eat other bugs and leaves. At first when I saw her, I thought it was a walnut shell on the ground. Then I saw the backbone and that is how I got her. Mom said I could keep her and I got her a plastic tank with a yellow lid with a handle. I got pretty rocks to put in the bottom. I gave her a jar lid for a swimming pool. She is very cute and small.
