according to the individual i spoke with ("pete the marine biologist" , he said that snapping turtles are about the most adapting turtles in this area and would easily adapt when released regardless of age. he also said if i intended to release him, it would be best to keep him until he was a bit larger, giving him a better chance of survival, then to release him in an area with still water, such as a pond. that's essentially the plan. someone on freecycle is donating a tank, and once he's large enough to fend for himself, he will be released. I definitely don't intend to keep him for an extended period of time, certainly not past the point where he can actually hurt someone. i have a 2 year old and a 1 year old and we're not taking any chances. i have a cat living at my office because he bit the one year old once and my wife evicted him until she's older.
