I added more pictures. I know he is between 40-50yrs old, he lived with my grandmother for most of that time.
Would you be able to get some more views of him? (side view and underside, perhaps). He looks like a box turtle of some type to me, but I am not a turtle expert. :-)
He is our pet, I do not know the species. I was hoping that someone could identify that.
Is this your pet? He is very cute! Do you know what species he is? If he is your pet, please move this spotting to the Pets section. :-)
