After only 13 months here my female C.bourreti laid three eggs this past July. This one hatched after about 100 days. I am hoping the other viable egg hatches soon, the 3rd was not fertile.

That's great news! Congrats!

I love the way he's carrying his "shell" on his shell!
Is this the flower-backed turtle, or no? They're so pretty.

Alot of the Asian species I hatch do this it seems.

It is a species of "flower-back box turtle", of which there are 3.
Cistoclemmys galbinifrons, C.picturata, and C.bourreti. C.serrata is a hybrid of C.mouhotti and C.galbinifrons ,so not a 4th species.
The 2nd bourreti died before hatching. It looked as though it ruptured its yolk sac.
