Giant Asian pond turtle
The giant Asian pond turtle is one of the largest hard-shelled, semi-aquatic Asian turtles. The broad head is greyish-green to brown and mottled with numerous yellow, orange, or pink spots, which disappear with age. The jaws are cream to horn coloured, the snout is slightly protruding, and a shallow, v-shaped indentation on the upper jaw is flanked by a pair of tooth-like projections. Its large limbs and webbed toes are perfect adaptations for a semi-aquatic life style. Male giant Asian pond turtles can be distinguished from females by their thicker tails and the slightly inwards curve of their plastron.

ASIAN VINE SNAKE
In the wild, Asian Vine Snake spend most of their time in the trees.They are mildly venomous and what is commonly termed as 'rear-fanged' or more appropriately meaning their enlarged teeth or fangs, intended to aid in venom delivery, are located in the back of the upper jaw, instead of in the front as they are in vipers or cobras. All Ahaetulla species are characterized by thin, elongated bodies, with extremely long tails and a sharply triangular shaped head. They are primarily green in color, but can vary quite a bit to yellows,
oranges, greys, and browns. They can have black and/or white patterning, or can be solid in color. Their eyes are almost unique in the reptile world, having keen binocular vision and keyhole shaped pupils, being similar in this aspect with twig snakes, who also have keyhole shaped pupils. |

Red-eared Terrapin
Originating from the U.S., the Red-eared Terrapin has been introduced into many water bodies in Southeast Asia, particularly in temple ponds, public parks and reservoirs. Such releases are either made by bored pet owners who want to rid themselves of their terrapins, or are Buddhists making 'merit'.The shells of juveniles are bright reen, and this darkens with age. The face shows a distinctive arrangement of pale yellow stripes, and red markings behind the ear.

Asian Leaf Turtle
It is an omnivorous species that will feed upon anything from vegetation, fish,
insects, worms and even scavenge on carcass. It is known that Asian Leaf Turtle will squirt their digestive system contents when feel threatened.Asian leaf turtles can grow 6 to 9.5 inches long and 4.5 to 6.5 inches in width. |
Indian chameleon
They are usually in shades of green or brown or with bands. They can change color rapidly and the primary purpose of color change is for communication with other chameleons and for controlling body temperature by changing to dark colors to absorb heat.[The head has a bony casque, ornamented with crests or tubercles. A separation between the eyes, the interorbital septum, is present. Its dentition is acrodont; the teeth are compressed, triangular, and more or less distinctly tricuspid. |
