Found a snapper, need help

[shaggybill]

Today I found a baby snapper (carapace = 2") on a busy road in the middle of town. I stopped and picked it up, even though the cars behind me probably thought I was crazy. Im thinking of keeping it over the winter, and I had a few questions about them.

1: What should I feed it? real food (worms, bugs, etc) or fake turtle food?

2: Are they baskers or do they prefer hanging out in the water?

3: Should I make the terrerium mostly water or mostly land?

4: If I want to release it come Spring, is that an OK thing to do, or is the risk too big for parasites, etc? If its not a good idea, I will release it tomorrow.

5: If it is ok to release it next Spring, or if I let it go tomorrow, can I release it somewhere else? The chances of him surviving where I found him are probably nil to 0.

6: I know the basic care of snakes. Is turtle care similar as far as temps go, etc?

Thanks for any ideas, suggestions, or tips you can pass along.
