The other day my friend and I found a turtle in the woods in my backyard. He was by a snake that looked like it was going to have the turtle for dinner. So my friend and I took the turtle and kept him in an empty fish tank in my garage. Since turtles carry lots of dieseases ; its from the wild ; and I`m sure he`s sad// lonley I`m going to release him tomorow. My question is where do I release him ? My dad has a big pond full of fish in our backyard && I wanted to put him by the pond, but would it just be better to put him all the way in the back of the woods again ? thnkss guys.

hope i helped

It depends how far back the woods are, if they aren't too far away, I would suggest to leave him next to the pond as you have described. It sounds like a great place for a little turtle to recooperate from any traumas and bring him to full health, plus, you have no idea how much water he has lost, etc. so yeah, pond=good!
