How do you find out what type of species of turtle you have?

Research. If you found the turtle your local library should have books of animals that are common in your area. You can call your local pet shop and ask them if they have someone who is knowledgable about turtles. If so, ask them if you can bring your turtle and have them look at it. If you can't transport it try a picture.

look at it, if it has a trait like red ears, then search "red ear turtle" on google. they will have pictures, if the picture shows your turtle, then they will probably have the actual name.
