I find this little one in the middle of a highway! So, I'd just like to know what kind he is! Thanks!

Looks like a three toed box turtle (terrepene carolina triunguis) or three toed - eastern intergrade (terrepene carolina triunguis X terrepene carolina carolina)
Though i am not sure where the "boundary" of the eastern population is, i think its near the eastern border of missouri.
