Found a small turtle, what should I do with it? What kind of turtle is it? How to take care of it?

My dad brought home a turtle and I put it in the bathtub with a little water and dry land. I fed it lettuce and veggies. Eventually we took it to a pond by my house. It was fine when it was in the bathtub. I recomend putting it in a bigger space. Otherwise I think it'll be fine. If your worried ask a pet store worker.

I would put it near a lake or a pond, if you can't find one going to a vet, or petsmart to find out how to take care of it could help. By the way turtles also love carrots and apples. Good Luck

keep it in shallow water. and call an animal shelter asap, they willa advise what to do

looks like a baby snapper. I'd find a nearby pond or river to put it in. They're incredibly big as adults; common snappers can reach 60 lbs, and require a HUGE tank and a lot of food and filteration. They're awesome animals but a royal pain in the *** to keep. If you do decide to keep it, start out with a 20 gallon long with a decent canister filter and UV lights. Use a pellet, rosy red minnows and various chopped up veggies for the diet. It should outgrow that in a year or less, then I'd work on moving it outdoors using a stock tank--get a 4 or 5' diameter one, toss in a heater, and stock with feeders...

If you had a large tank of a pong you could keep it I would release it in a river a small creek or a lagoon.

You do not want to keep that. As others have said that is a baby snapping turtle. 1st the are carnivores and any animal that gets too close will get bit. 2nd housing requires a kiddy pool at the very least, plus filters and a large supply of fish and rats to feed it. 3rd It would only be a matter of time before it bit you and then you are off to the hospital for a mix of skin grafts and stitches. 4th it might be illegal to keep depending on local laws. Find a big pond or a sizable creek and let it go. it will be better for him and much better for you.

The first thing that popped from my head was baby snapper. As they may be the cutest turtle as a baby, as they grow older they are aggressive, requires a supply of meaty...mice, worms, fish? I know adults can go through an entire can of turtle food in one feeding. A kiddy pool won't be enough, and depending on where you live they could be illegal to own. I mean, you can keep it, but do you have somewhere to store a 20"+ turtle? Otherwise release it to a nearby lake or pond.
