Wow! Looks like a pastel! It was probably somebody's pet. Pastels only occur with very high incubation temps, which are unlikely in the wild at this time of year (though not unheard of).
Very cute :D

update- we got him/her a heater and filter but no light yet.

no name yet. any suggestions? he/she is very strong for its age and doesnt get frightened when someone comes in the room. its favorite thing to do is to get up on the dock and nap there. even when it wakes up its not scared of anything.

Make sure you get him some shell and skin conditioner, since his shell looks pretty dry! Other than that, he's a cutie! (Or she.. lol, who knows!)

I would skip any conditioner (like Vitashell) and concentrate on giving him a good habitat with appropriate lighting. Once he grows a bit and sheds those rough baby scutes, you should see a real improvement in the shell.
