Mystery Turtle

I'm going to start this thread off by saying I'm fairly certain this guy is a Central American Wood Turtle....

If you haven't read my other thread, the problem was his now former owner said he was a Central American Box Turtle... Turns out Petco said that's what he was(I have the papers), but now that I can see him up close, I'm nearly 100% certain he is a wood turtle...

At any rate... he is pretty outgoing, not real fearful... His shell, as you can see, is very dull... which is strange because his 'complete setup' came with UVB/UVA... Poor fella was in a lil' 10g tank... His shell is also very dry and flaky, as well as his skin being very dried out... This gives me the assumption that he has not had the high humidity that Central American Wood Turtles need...

Here's some pics, one of his face, one of his underside, and one of the shell top. Just to be sure I'm not wrong.
