Hi I run a sanctuary for turtles, it is indeed a yellow belly -female around 4 yrs old, her shell is awfully dried out and shows damage down to obviously being kept in the incorrect setup,she will need a minimum 3ft tank with heater,filter,uvb light and basking/heat lamp,also either stick on basking shelf or make your own from stones but they take up the tank space so better off with stick on ones. She looks a lovely girl though, well done on finding her.we took on a massive 15 inch red eared that had been dumped in a field without water for upto 2 months, she's half the weight she should be, and badly dehydrated ,we have had to teach her to eat again as had no real access to food or any water so very dehydrated and lucky to be alive but on the mend now.x
