      A tortoiseshell turtle is not actually a specific species of turtle but rather a term used to describe a turtles shell pattern that has a color palette of yellow, brown, black, or amber. These markings usually look marbled or spotted. The term is most commonly associated with sea turtles especially the hawksbill turtle which is known for its bold pattern. However, the term isn’t a formal category in reptile taxonomy but a descriptive term for a type of coloring.
