.. aka Asian Box turtles.



These little guys are not real big on being approached with the camera.. so they are quick to scurry away - which makes it difficult to get clear pics.

Gotta love the colors of these..



Must be doing something right.. the growth seems to be nice and consistent..

The problem lies in the fact that Flavos are distributed in China, where Amboinensis are distributed throughout many "Asian" countries.......So calling a Flavo an "Asian" Box Turtle really has no merit, hence the differentiation......

Haha I was just mentioning it aka Chinese as well I've heard it both was Asian and Chinese. But also have heard Indonesia box turtle as Asian box turtle. Also heard just flavos

I've even heard them referred to as the "Chinese Snake-Eating Turtle"! No joke! Used to have one, he was such a character!
