| Abstract |
|
Rhinoclemmys nasuta (Boulenger 1902) is a medium-sized aquatic turtle that inhabits rivers and creeks in the Tumbes-Chocó biogeographic region. An egg of R. nasuta was found with about 95% of its surface area buried in the forest substrate of Isla Palma (Bahía Málaga, Colombia) and it was transported to the laboratory. The time to complete incubation was 66 days. Neonate size on the day it hatched was 58.4 mm straight carapace length, 34.6 mm straight carapace width, 55.3 mm straight plastron length, 30 mm maximum shell height and it weighed 33 g. This is the first report of an R. nasuta egg hatched under either natural or laboratory conditions.
