Varadia amboliensis

Varadia amboliensis is glossy grey or greyish-white with irregular dark mottling patterns, and up to 6.9 cm long, with a golden-brown shell. It is more active at night, and appears to be omnivorous, as it has been observed feeding on both decaying plant matter as well as smaller invertebrates like crickets and earthworms. It is primarily terrestrial, but can be seen on leaves, rocks and on walls depending on the climate and other factors. It is endemic to the Northern and Central Western Ghats of India, preferring tropical Evergreen forests or Semi-evergreen forests. == References ==
