Also known as the Vietnamese box turtles, Jagged-shell box turtle, Sawback box turtle or the Thorn turtle. This turtle stays relatively small reaching a maximum of 7 inches fully mature. A small, shallow water area should be provided for drinking and soaking. It prefers a vivarium that includes an area with live plants. These turtles seldom bask, but a low wattage basking light should be provided. Temperatures should be between 72°F - 85°F. Primarily herbivorous, Jagged shell turtles eat a wide variety of vegetation in the natural environment, with a preference for wild fallen fruits. They also eat some worms, snails and other meats. A varied diet using a variety of plants, and a smaller amount animal matter, should keep this species happy and healthy.
