Rather excited. I've received 1 egg so far, and continuely hear that the female is digging a lot again. This species is very underrated. Cyclemys Dendata or Asian leaf turtle. I've had nothing but fantastic outcomes with this species. Extremely curious, very friendly, and can be quite pretty. They do vary greatly physical color. Some are brown and some can be colorful.

Anyways. This species is known for being cheap, ugly and difficult to keep alive in captivity. I love them and have been successful with them so far. Anyways again. We had a female lay an egg. A great to start to a declining species in Indonesia.
