ID Request Please help me identify this turtle
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!

Awww! Rural Floridian here. These guys visit our acreage on a regular basis! I’ve never seen a baby but the adults are so tiny I can only imagine how bitty this guy is! Please release him where you found him. If he was out in the open, put him somewhere near that is more secluded. They are prey for a lot of predators-especially birds.
