Concave-shelled tortoise lives in tropical and subtropical mountainous areas. Adults live on the banks of mountain streams, and young turtles can climb up to the banks and lie horizontally on tree trunks to bask in the sun. They live far away from water and have a narrow distribution area. They feed on bamboo shoots, young grass, and fruits. Under artificial breeding conditions, they are fed with vegetables, fruits, etc. They hide during the day and are active at dawn and dusk. Its suitable living temperature is 20-30℃. When the temperature is above 30℃, it becomes more dependent on water, drinks water frequently, and sometimes lies quietly in a puddle for a few minutes. When the temperature is below 18℃, the turtle's activity decreases, and it gradually enters a hibernation state in the sand or cave.
The concave-shelled tortoise is timid in nature. When frightened, it retracts its head into the shell and immediately stretches it out again, repeating this over and over again, and making a "chi, chi" sound of deflation from its mouth. If caught by someone, it will open its mouth and bite people. The concave-shelled tortoise is a nest-loving tortoise with a relatively fixed habitat. It is afraid of hot and dry weather, prefers cool and humid weather, and likes to hide under leaves and broken rotten plants. Female tortoises do not dig holes like most tortoises to lay eggs, but gather leaves together, lay eggs on the pile of leaves, and cover them with leaves. Reproduction method: oviparous. Reproduction in the rainy season. Each nest lays about 12 eggs.
