This specimen survived for 122 days in captivity, during which time it laid several eggs, many of which produced viable offspring; see Paralaoma servilis (Shuttleworth, 1852). It died without demonstrating any growth of its shell while captive. SEMs performed by H. G. Lee in collaboration with Dr. Ann Heatherington, Dept. of Geological Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. |
