Facts

• Native to Papua New Guinea and northern Australia, thriving in warm, slow‑moving freshwater habitats.
• Known for their bright pink or red plastron, which becomes more vivid as they mature.
• As a sideneck species, they fold their head sideways under the shell rather than retracting it straight back.
• Active, strong swimmers that do best in deep, clean water with plenty of room to move.
