The species is found in northeastern Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. HabitatC. novaeguineae inhabits small and large freshwater bodies of water, jungle rivers with ample vegetation. DescriptionThe carapace is dark brown, almost black, but shows some variation from "normal" turtle patterns. The plastron is a light brown, tan color. C. novaeguineae has a long neck, which (including the head) can sometimes exceed the length of the carapace. The skin is mostly gray, except for black on the head, and white on the under parts. BehaviorWhen resting, C. novaeguineae twists its long neck off to the side for protection. The highly flexible neck permits foraging in mud as well as snorkeling. It also allows the turtle to strike quickly to capture prey. ReproductionThe New Guinea snake-necked turtle is oviparous. 17–21 eggs are laid and incubation lasts 75–110 days depending on temperature. References1. ^Asian Turtle Trade Working Group. (2000).
