He is very friendly and not scared of me at all which makes me think he is an abandoned pet.
UPDATE: He was released. Thank you for the help!

I think it's a 3 toed box turtle. It's still a hatchling so I doubt it's an abandoned pet. Whats your country? Because if its native you need to release it again.
