A few things, definite snapping turtle baby. It may have been as far as one mile away from its mother's home lake, pond, or wetlands area. Most turtles do not survive long but because of the ability of the snapping turtle to grow at a high rate it has a higher chance of survival than most wild turtles. Most rescues will not take it because it is a snapper and not many people want to take in a snapper. If you cannot find a good location to release it near where it was found, you may consider finding an individual who has them already and can take another but it may be difficult. Good luck!
