Is this baby turtle I found a water or land turtle? It has bumps.

Question

I found a baby turtle outside my yard and it has three bumps on it's back I don't know if a water turtle or a land turtle

If you are able to take a photo of the turtle to post on our site, we may be able to help identify the type of turtle. Without seeing it, it is impossible to say just by describing the bumps on its shell as some different species can appear to have bumps. The safest thing to do is probably to replace the turtle where you found him in your yard, as he may have already had an idea where he was headed, unless you are afraid your pet may eat him.
