Nathan,
I too, live in Georgia. Box turtles are illegal to keep without a permit from the Department of Natural Resources. I am assuming you found the one in the picture, so I strongly encourage you to go and release it back where you found it. In addition, baby boxes are also difficult to raise properly in captivity unless the person knows and understands box turtle natural history very well.
