Sulawesi forest turtle

Here's one of the inhabitants of the tropical enclosure. This is a male - males of this species have a yellow head. I need to work on this enclosure over the weekend. It looks terrible - dead plants, fallen plywood, etc.

Oh, he's not nice, he'll give you a heck of a bite and the bigger ones are worse. They don't hibernate but they do slow down a bit in winter because I have to house them indoors. They are certainly much happier in the summertime living outside.
