The red-bellied short-necked turtle (Emydura subglobosa), also known commonly as the pink-bellied side-necked turtle and the Jardine River turtle, is a species of turtle in the family Chelidae. The species is native to Australia and New Guinea. There are two recognized subspecies.
E. subglobosa, a hard-shelled aquatic turtle of the family Chelidae, is generally one of the more colorful members of the family.
E. subglobosa is found in northern Queensland, Australia, and in southern New Guinea.
E. subglobosa lives in freshwater rivers and swamps, and also in lagoons and lakes.
The red-bellied short-necked turtle is popular as a pet. A 75-gallon or larger aquarium is used to house this species. In captivity, it feeds on fish, commercial turtle pellets, and plant matter.
Due to Australia's ban of exporting wild-caught animals, all wild-caught individuals are from New Guinea. In Florida in the United States, E. subglobosa had been bred to supply the market. Hong Kong and Taiwan had also bred the red-bellied short-necked turtle.
