Is this a box turtle?

jlynnstites Dec 03, 2009 02:12 PM

We had this turtle, and unfortuntly he got in the garage and run over. We had him for 20 years. I would like to replace him before my daughter notices he is missing. Can anyone please tell me if he really is a box turtle and if he is, what kind is he. Here's a picture.
