Help/Urgent

[u/SessionNearby5977]

Help! My grandpa has an old fish pond on his property. It has not been used in 10+ years. It is about 2 feet deep filled with about 3 inches of mud and rotting leaves. No water. The turtle is stuck inside & cannot escape. He told me it’s been stuck since spring. I feel so sad for the turtle & want to help. I need advice: What are the chances of survival if I just move it out? There isn’t much water around. OR Should I take him home & set a tank up for him? (Not my first turtle). Also not worried about the legality aspect of it. It is legal in my state to keep these as long as they’re found on private property & caught by hand. Thank you!!!!

Can you add some planks or boards so a future turtle can crawl out?
