Samson is cool. I believe ben's mystery turtle is what is sometimes called a south american wood turtle. The latin name is Rhinoclemmys pulcherrima. I am not sure what subspecies it is. See http://www.chelonia.org/rhinoclemmys_gallery.htm for pics
If your friend would like a care sheet see: http://www.chelonia.org/Articles/rpulcherrimacare.
