I'm certainly glad that you're putting forth the effort to research a possible captive. However, Central American Wood turtles are not box turtles. Their care is very different from most of the box turtles that we keep. You should post under the "Wood, Spotted, and Bog" forum, or even "All Other Turtles". Phratz has a veterinarian that keeps a species of neotropical Wood turtle, but I can't remember which. Maybe she'll give you some tips. Good luck, they're beautiful turtles.
