Had a small chunk missing from carapace above back left leg. Appeared to be an old wound as the edges were smooth, not jagged.

Per AZ regulations, did not handle or otherwise harass / stress the animal, whose species is listed as Protected in AZ, to get measurements, etc. Red eyes and faded streaks indicate a mature male, per Reptiles and Amphibians of AZ field guide.
