I found this little red-eared slider in my cousin's back yard today. Gold dollar and 100 yen for size comparison.

What should I do now? Red eared sliders are good pet turtles, but they are far from being hearty enough for this environment. He looks as if he is a hatchling. I remember trying to do this with a snapper in biology class but he died (for a backasswards lesson on darwinism).

I don't want to let him go wild. Little bro would be bird food right quick. I'm thinking of contacting my old science teacher, since I can give him for educational purposes, and he's got a few other sliders.

I don't know anything about turtles so I don't know how much of a maintenance he'd be but I'd consider keeping it if you want a pet. Though pets can cost a fair amount in food and upkeep they make up for it in being a good companion, although a turtle seems less companion-ey than something like a dog or cat would.
