It was called kura kura matahari
Kura-kura Duri atau disebut juga Kura-kura Matahari (Heosemys spinosa) adalah salah satu reptil langka Indonesia. Kura-kura dari famili Geoemydidae ini menyandang status Endangered (Terancam) dalam Daftar Merah IUCN. Populasi Kura-kura Duri (Kura-kura Matahari) di habitat aslinya semakin berkurang. Namun sebaliknya malah marak dipelihara oleh penghobi reptil. Nama latin hewan yang dikenal sebagai Kura-kura Duri ini adalah Heosemys spinosa (Gray, 1831). Mempunyai nama sinonim Emys spinosa Duméril & Bibron, 1835 dan Geoemyda spinosa Gray, 1873. Dalam bahasa Inggris dikenal dengan beberapa nama seperti Spiny Terrapin, Spiny Turtle, Cogwheel Turtle, dan Sunburst Turtle. Penyebutan nama hewan langka ini didasarkan pada ciri khas pada tepi karapasnya yang unik. Kura-kura Duri atau Matahari ini memiliki keping marginal (keping paling tepi karapas) yang bergerigi atau meruncing membentuk duri-duri. Meskipun duri-duri ini akan semakin menghilang seiring dengan usianya yang semakin dewasa. Ciri-ciri lainnya dari Kura-kura Berduri atau Kura-kura Matahari (Heosemys spinosa) adalah terdapatnya ‘keel’ (lunas) yang tajam di bagian tengah karapas (keping vertebral). Lunas juga kadang tumbuh di antara keping marginal dan keping vertebral. |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Dec 12 2015, 04:22 PM) You mention our east Malaysian pet shop - you from East Malaysia ? Which part ? Kuching.Just a rough guide to pricing Indian star @ 3" standard - Rm 350-500 Burmese star @ hatchlings Rm 1500-2000 Red foot Rm 400-800 Chery head about same as red foot but seldom offered Asian leaf can be as cheap as RM 5 in local tamu Sulcata seems like not a bad choice. I found one at kuching at RM 850 |
