If you still have it can you show a picture of the bottom?
But I’m going with Baby box turtle.

Small snapper I think.
That was my first thought too. It looks just like a tiny version of a snapper.
I don't have any sort of pond or creek in the immediate area. Would snappers have eggs near water?
That's the next questions;
Is this small of a turtle fairly soon out of the egg? Should I be assuming that there are more of these near ?
Don't think it's a snapper. No serrations on rear of the shell. Image search leads me to believe it's a baby box turtle, but I have never seen one in the wild.
Thank you all for the ID's.
Now is there anything I should know for relocation this little guy?
I prefer not to put the little guy back in the garden.
Take him to the woods nearby and cut him loose.Thank you all for the ID's.

I'd be on the lookout for three other little ones. And a rat.
I heard they like pizza.
Put him on the other side of your yard and tell him not to go back to the garden.
