In a web for a life being species adding a section about its captivity handling is out of place. A depiction in another web related to that may fit. Definitively not here. I recommend to rename it to habitat conditions or parameters to resue the already appropriate content in that section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.29.167.135 ( talk) 21:49, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
According to the "Turtles of the world, 2011 update" the binomial name is Chelus fimbriata. Was previously in this article as Chelus fimbriatus. Regards, SunCreator ( talk) 01:55, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Ok not sure what to do about this one. The Category for when this species was described was recently changed. Now that change was correct as it was not described in 1741, no probs there. However if you look at the naming of this species it was originally described in 1765 (Testudo terrestris Fermin 1765:51 (nomen rejectum)), now we dont use the name Testudo terrestris because of the ruling by the ICZN where they decided we would use Testudo fimbriata Schneider 1783:349. My question though is that although we dont use the name Testudo terrestris Fermin 1765:51, the species was still originally described that year. Not in 1783. What should we do here? Or will we just run with the year of the first valid name? Cheers, Faendalimas talk 05:31, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Just forewarning that I intend to change the way this page links a bit. There are two fossil taxa in the genus Chelus, which do not currently have pages so I am going to make a page for the genus and those two species. This will require that this page links to the genus (instead of it being a redirect) and the family does also. I will write the necessary pages and do this over the next couple of days. Cheers.

Hi, is the elongated nose horn hollow and used for breathing? Also the neck frills are curiously feathery, is it possible they have some oxygen-gathering capacity when submerged? thanks 92.0.22.87 ( talk) 08:50, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
