She enjoys having her picture taken it seems.
She is on a diet, they become obese easily.

One of my favorite turtles. Wished I still had mine. How long have you had her? Is she your only one?

Awesome, she looks just like a leaf! I love how bright her eyes are! She is so not camera shy!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I have had 1.2 since 2003. I made the right decision getting them then. It was the last of the imports.

Interesting substrate...pine needles? Do they come from pine forests? Just curious.

They come from cool, humid forests in mountains from what I've heard. They do like to burrow and blend in with their surroundings so probably this is what Benjamin had in mind when designing his enclosure.

OMG!! The Black-breasted Leaf Turtle! My favorite turtle in the world. All I need is $500. I've been saving my change forever and something always comes up so I have to use it. Can you post more pictures? Can we see his enclosure? I just love these guys.
