Abstract
Lissemys scutata is endemic to the Ayeyarwady (formerly Irrawaddy), Sittaung (formerly Sittang) and Thanlwin (formerly Salween) basins of Myanmar (Rhodin et al. 2017. Chelon. Res. Monogr. 7:1–292) where it inhabits natural and anthropogenic wetlands (Platt et al. 2018a. Nat. Hist. Bull. Siam Soc. 63:67–114). Despite being common and widely distributed within Myanmar, the natural history of L. scutata remains largely unstudied (Platt et al. 2018b. Hamadryad 38:20–24), with information on reproduction being notably sparse.
