Abstract

The developmental stages of River Terrapin, Batagur affinis were studied in the Wildlife Conservation Center at Bota Kanan, Perak. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the eggs morphometric of B. affinis, and to investigate the growth rate of B. affinis hatchlings. The parameters of hatchling growth and eggs were measured using digital callipers. A Pearson’s coefficient test was carried out to determine correlation between weight and egg size. The large size of the eggs showed that the eggs do not necessarily heavier. The results shows that no correlation between egg size and egg weight. This study found an optimum growth of the hatchlings development, which is in the third to fifth weeks.
