The Aquarium originally had five of these box turtles, which were the result of a seizure of smuggled animals. They have only two left now.

The enclosure is opposite the Koi and Goldfish pools, hence the tiled walls.
 
@Chlidonias Thats not a very good survival rate, I imagine they were wild caught which is a shame as they breed quite well in captivity thankfully. I have a pair and they are honestly the most interactive reptile I have ever had.
