Assam Leaf Turtle

The Assam leaf turtle is a freshwater turtle of the family Geoemydidae. The carapace lacks patterns in adults and is elongated and relatively flat, with nearly parallel sides. The plastron is unpatterned and dark brown, the head is brown, and the throat and neck are uniformly dark (Wikipedia, general species account).

It lives in freshwater wetlands and forest in north-eastern India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, and its range may extend into Myanmar. The Reptile Database lists Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland in India. It reaches sexual maturity at around five years and, like all turtles, lays eggs.
