| Abstract |
|
In 2002, I imported 3.3.0 adult specimens of the species Cuora galbinifrons galbinifrons. They originated from Hainan Island, China. These animals have been cared for privately in my home. Between 2002 and 2011, a total of 37 eggs have been deposited and incubated. There has been a 51% hatching success rate and 42% of the babies have survived past the first year. As of May 2012, two of the imported males and the three females remain alive and are thriving, and so are six of their offspring. The purpose of this presentation is to review what I have observed and learned while working with this endangered species. I will discuss my methods of acclimation and quarantine, housing, diet, cycling and incubation. I will also present my observations regarding daily and reproductive behavior, as well as conspecific interactions. I anticipate that the information that I will share may aid in the successful care and reproduction of this species in the future.
