Are you keeping it? 
Below are some of the most useful online resources I've found for this species. (I got two hatchlings in August.)

@GreedyGecko If you are keeping the three-striped mud turtle hatchling, there are at least a couple other forum members located in Florida, with three-striped mud hatchlings as well. I'm located in north Florida, and @Rmayes is in central Florida, I think.
