Does it have 3 or 4 toes on the back feet?

i've never seen such a tiny box turtle. your friend must be pretty keen-eyed to have spotted him crossing the street! are you going to keep him?

I figure I'll keep it until spring at least. I believe that when a turtle is this small, hibernation is more dangerous than beneficial. Also, my town isn't the best place for a turtle to be running around (lots of cars, streets and hungry racoons). Hopefully I can get it eating well and have it grow a bit so in the spring it can be taken far far away and released in a more sutable habitat. That is, unless I get attached...
