Turtle or tortoise? 🐢

Most people use these words interchangeably — but they’re not the same animal at all.

Shell shape, feet, and habitat all give it away.

And CuetaraCare we take in both turtles and tortoises!

10/15/2026

At CuetaraCare Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, we currently have 37 rescue turtles and tortoises.

And a Boxed Turtle was surrendered to us today.

Each reptile receives species specific diets, habitats, and vet care as needed.

Cuetaracare to the rescue! 💕 Our neighbor called us this morning about a turtle walking across the road. It turned out to be a Red Eared Slider that was a good distance away from her pond. Usually, when these turtles are away from their pond they are looking for places to lay eggs. Her scales were flaking so we knew she was away from the pond for a decent time and returned her to her home! May her egg laying ventures continue! 🥚
