Honestly, this guy is VERY reclusive and everytime I get near him he sucks back up into his shell. I have seen his head a couple times and there are no significant markings on it. It is a fairly wide head, is dark and looks to maybe have had a light stripe behind his eyes, but it also is very faint.

After looking at pics and reading a little more, I thought it might be the red-eared slider. The articles I have found say it gets very dark as it ages, and this guy definitely looks old. THe body build looks like the RES also.

I got some pics and posted them to the link.

Thanks
