How do I find out what kind of turtle is outside my house?

Google for "Encyclopedia Of Life." On that site, search for "turtles." There are photos and full info available for 112 varieties.

Hopefully, the turtle remains in its own habitat and has not been brought inside. Using memory, the internet has many options for finding pictures of various kinds of turtles, and the phrase "Types of turtles" might be the optimal for searching. If it's a snapping turtle, it's best to be careful.

It is probably a box turtle. Without knowing your geographic location it is hard to say. Google your state and box turtle to try to find out what it is.
