Found this tiny guy this past Saturday. He was nestled up against our garage door. I've scoured a few online galleries, but can't pinpoint what type of turtle we're dealing with - am going to try some local resources on Monday, but figured I'd seek out as much help as possible so we can make sure we care for this guy the proper way. Visit the link under the picture for different angles.

Thanks for any and all help!
