What kind of tortoise is this?

We found this little guy running in front of a grocery store in New Mexico. We have had it for almost a year. He went into hibernation in late October 09 and came out in March 10. He keeps going back into hibernation, buring himself in his enclosure.


Can you tell me what he is? I think he is a box tortoise, but would really like to know for sure.
