Do NOT release it.....do you really wanna see an entire ecosystem wiped out due to your irresponsibility/laziness.

Do your research and make it a good setup it can spend the rest of its life in.
 
Aww, glad you're keeping it. If you go to the store get one of those calcium blocks that are shaped like a turtle. They even have them at walmart. They condition the water for the reptile and help with certain ailments.
 
You need a special reptile UV basking light and be sure to get a multivitamin and a calcium/vitamin D supplement. Turtles are fun just be sure to properly research their diet.
 
I house Mississippi maps and stink pots with 2 4-6" green terrors for well over a year. They have never had any conflict what so ever. Get a platform for him to bask with a uvb light, some good quality food and enjoy. I feed my turts a lot of free earth worms. I will also throw all my turts in my 180 for a few days for snail control. They love them!!
