I always found the bottom right one, big and small, twice in Cherating, twice in Cyberjaya. I think is the Malayan box turtle... correct me if i'm wrong...

When i feed my PNT veggies, they often float on the water surface. I read that PNT usually graze / eat veggies on the bottom. Should i tie the veggies down to a rock? 

Description

Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Reptilia
Order Testudines
Family Bataguridae
Genus Cuora (1)
The South Asian box turtle gets its name from the ability to box itself up completely within its shell. This is due to the hinged lower shell, which, like other box turtles, can be folded up when the head is withdrawn, securely protecting the animal from any predators (4). It can grow to over 20 centimetres in length which makes it the largest of the Asian box turtles, which all belong to the genus Cuora (5). The highly domed upper shell, or carapace, is dark olive or black, whilst the lower shell, or plastron, is yellow to light brown, with large dark-brown or black patches toward the outside of each scute (2). The smallish head is olive to dark brown on top, yellow to olive underneath, with three distinctive black stripes running along the side of the head, from the nostrils to the neck. It has a protruding snout and slightly hooked upper jaw (2) (4). The limbs are olive to black and large scales cover the front of the forelimbs. Males can be distinguished from females by their longer, thicker tails, and their slightly smaller size (2).

Also known as
Malayan box turtle.
Size
Length: up to 21.6 cm (2)

My guess is that the female is changing the color, as a signal to the male...
