Description
The four-eyed turtle can grow to be 15 centimetres long. Its carapace typically ranges in color from a yellowish-tan to a deep chocolate-brown and all turtles have a distinct pattern of lines. The turtle's head is often colorful with yellow or green eyes, yellow stripes, and a pink or red throat. Two (sometimes four) eye-like ocelli occur on the back of the head, hence the turtle's name.
