Testudinidae The present study evaluated the influence of color in ten flower species in the nourishing behavior of Geochelone (Chelonoidis) carbonaria under handling conditions "ex situ", with a group of 20 adult individuals comprised by 11 females and 9 males divided in two lots. Behavior manifestations were recorded emphasizing the time of access to the food and time of consumption. Nourishing aspects were analyzed through the preference grade regarding the coloration of six flower species of red, yellow and white color and four species of red and yellow color, in two treatments, fresh and dry. For the parameter time of access to the food, no significant difference was found regarding flower color and species, thus indicating that animals acceded to the food with the same speed, regardless the color. For the parameter time of consumption, a highly significant difference was found for the effect color and species in the fresh appearance.
