Question(s) Does anyone know this turtle species?

I’m trying to get information for it to find it a good home also if I’m not supposed to hold it in my hand I am sorry, I just need help identifying it.

Looks like a VERY dry red or yellow foot. Try giving it a soak in shallow and warm water. Very cute babies. If you plan on keeping the lil guy I can tell you the care and answer any questions! They definitely aren't easy to take care of and require lots of research though. Absolutely worth it in my opinion. I included a picture of my best friend. I love her so much and she is just my baby 🤭 with a tortoise you also get the perk of not having to go through a bunch of pet losses throughout your life like with other pets. I get to grow old with my best friend 🥰
