This little turtle is doing very well. It keeps a close eye on me when I am in the room.

It is a cistoclemmys bourreti AKA flowerback box turtle. Used to be in the genus cuora, and was considered a subspecies of galbinifrons.

Wow! Beautiful! Is it hinged like a box turtle? I've never heard of this species before.
