Welcome. We'd like to see the slider. Have you named it? Do you know if it is Male or Female?

Hi.

Generally it is a bad idea to keep a wild adult turtle as they will not take the transition to a life of captivity very well.

How big is the turt that was found?

Hello and welcome. I agree with 2 turtles on keeping wild turtles...not the best idea. If you would really like to have a pet turtle you would be better off getting a smaller one from a pet store.
