please ask your friends if they know!
Check out this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornate_box_turtle or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-toed_box_turtle You could also look for more images online. The plastron seems so dark but doesn't quite have the ornate pattern...perplexed. I am no expert by any means.
