Spiny-necked snake-necked turtles
The number of spiny-necked turtles is desolate, even if The number of artificially bred turtles is not large. In our country, only Taiwan has records of sales. In mainland China, no one often buys and sells spiny-necked turtles. Now this turtle species is on sale in Japan. I have to appreciate their ability to collect items.
The carapace is about 17 cm long, grayish brown or olive in color, oblong in shape, with a yellowish margin on the belly and a non-serrated posterior margin. The plastron is yellow, longer, and the front half is wider than the back half. The head is broad, the top is light gray-brown, with scales, the membrane is yellow, the irises of the eyes are white, there are many hard spine-like warts on the back of the neck, and the neck and abdomen are light yellow. The hands and feet are brown, and there are many hard spines on both sides of the tail, one of which is larger than the others. This feature is more obvious in male turtles. The forelimbs have 5 claws, the hind limbs have 4 claws, and the fingers and toes are webbed. The tail is short.
The biggest characteristic of the spiny-necked turtle is that there are two fleshy spines on both sides of the buttocks. Compared with other spiny-necked turtles, the color of the spine-filled body is more pink. Red, with mostly brown carapace, the number is very small. The few sold domestically every year are so small that everyone has to snatch them. The Japanese who dare to spend big money can often grab more of them. There are also spiny-necked turtles in Taiwan, and the adult body is about 20cm. about.
