哥伦比亚木纹，学名应该为黑腹木纹 ，英文学名Colombian wood turtle ，拉丁学名Rhinoclemmys melanosterna。木纹家族里相当多成员，哥木属于分布比较单一而且体色比较低调的一款，而且不同地区的群落也有不同头纹表现。哥伦比亚木纹和皇冠木纹龟 Rhinoclemmys diademata、 黑木纹龟 Rhinoclemmys funerea、斑腿木纹龟 Rhinoclemmys punctularia有一定的近亲关系。
不同地区种群的样本表现差异

木国内相当少见，但这不代表饲养困难。相对于家族成员而言，5度还能活动已经相当难得。咋一看哥木以为是麝香臭蛋，其实哥木的四肢才是华丽丽的！哥木食性杂，饲养采用通用半水环境即可
