It looks kind of like a Blanding's Turtle in the last pic, but this turtle is missing the "Box Turtle" hinge on it's plastron, characteristic to that species. Atleast it doesn't appear to have a hinge...
cant think of what turt this is...

it is a amboensis or maylayan box turtle, or vietmanese pond turtle. cool turtle used to be quite common but becomeing less over the years.
I don't see a hinge so I think we can cross box turtle from the list. The more I look at it the more I think Stonecat is right about it being a Vietmanese Pond/Leaf Turtle (Annamemys annamensis).[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]

he still at the pet store that i was working at in a 30gal to be honest...i have no space for a big aquatic turt...i feel bad for him being in the small tank my friend has room in her pond she has two RES on western painted a yellow belly...and now i will be adding him to the collection and its an enclosed atrium its about 12ft by 12ft and however tall the house is cause its floor to ceicling with heavy screen roof so sun/rain gets in and the pond is like 800 gal so i think this guy due to size he is going to get will be the last edition but we have to clean up the lanscapes and scub the fountain and some rocks...and get it back up to speed befroe we put him in...
