Of the 9 categories of habitats studied, the highest number (17.42%) of the turtle species was found in marshland followed by puddles (17.26%), agriculture fields (17.12%), streams (12.1%), canals (10.54%), tanks (10.39%), derelict ponds (9.18%) and domestic ponds (6.08%). Most of the time the turtle was found in burrowing condition (55.83%), rarely it was observed in feeding (7.2%) condition. The turtle seem to have a considerably higher tolerant in all types of environment, so it may be possible to set-up turtle farm commercially in Bangladesh.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words&lt;/strong&gt;: Spotted flapshell turtle, ecology, habitat preference, behavioral patterns.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;doi: 10.3126/eco.v15i0.1943&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; ECOPRINT &lt;strong&gt;15: &lt;/strong&gt;59-67, 2008  &lt;/p&gt;}, journal={Ecoprint: An International Journal of Ecology}, author={Hossain, Md.
