I agree it's a male Desert box turtle, T.o.luteola. It seems the ones in Arizona are more likely to go straw colored as they get older, like this one. Can you post pictures of the other one Kimber?

Here is the other ornate that supposedly came from the same place at the luteola.

That is a T.o.ornata :D so couldn't have been "found" in the same place as the T.o.luteola but could have been "bought" at the same place. :p

Thanks Danny! I completely agree ... I knew he was lying. His story kept changing and seemed suspicious.
