Found this girl in the street. She won't eat or drink water. It's too late to take her to the vet. Any tips on how to make her comfy for the night?

Don't feed iceberg lettuce. See if she'll eat a little grated carrot and fill something with a little warm water (below the nostrils) and see if she needs to flush out her kidneys.
That's a turtle anon, put it back in the water

This, what the actual fuck are you doing? Now unless you live somewhere that is absolutely guaranteed to have no wild tortoise and its a pet, don't take home wild animals holy fuck

especially a threatened one like gopher tortoises. hopefully OP will be thrown in jail for this
Op here on mobile. My grandpa took it home and my mom is interested in it as a pet. I'm at the vet to get education and get its wheezing checked out. If its a a wild desert box turtle(its about breeding time for them) we'll ask our options about returning to the wild. I'll try to convince my mom to return it to the wild if its the case

Update: its a boy. Vet said its rare for a north american box turtles to be out here and its very friendly so he thinks its most likely a dumped pet. He's very healthy and strong, but he thinks the wheezing is a cause for concern. We may do 3 antibiotic injections for a its respiratory infection. We bought one with the cash on hand. We gotta finance another 100. No biggy
