ive had a couple snappers bout the same size, never saw them on land, but they get aggressive very quickly
It's best to give them a place to crawl out and dry off/bask if they decide to. One of mine has never done it but the other does once in a while and there's one in a pond near my house that does it just about every time I walk by in the summer.
i dunno about captivity, but i see them basking on the dam of my grandparents pond alot, so id assume u should give him some land to rest on.
yeah, lil snappers need a baskin area until there 4 or 5 inches long. they may not use it often, buts its best to give em a basking log or sumthin. ZooMed has a dock thing that attaches to tanks that isnt very notcible and real cheap. heres what the "experts" say bout snapper baskin http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/cs-commonsnapper.htm
