AHB Series 19 – Jagged-shelled Turtle – Cuora mouhotii | Turtle

THE SPIKY-SHELLED ODDBALL · keeled & serrated

A Series of Laugh and Grow

Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.

Chubby & Full of Character

Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.

Ready to Display

A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

A Saw-Toothed Shell

Three raised keels run down its back and the rear edge of the shell is serrated into jagged points — the features that give this forest turtle its name and its rugged profile.

A Box That Won’t Quite Close

Unlike many of its relatives, its plastral hinge is reduced, so it cannot fully seal itself in — a box turtle that keeps the door only half-shut.

A Highland Forager

It lives in cool, moist upland forests, foraging on the leaf-littered floor for worms, snails and fallen fruit far from open water.

Endangered Oddball

Collected like its kin for food and the pet trade, this characterful, spiky turtle is threatened in the wild — here rounded, jagged shell and all, into a plump figure.
