CAN YOU GET THESE IN SCOTLAND DJCHEE? IF SO WHERE?

Thats going to be a monster Armand

Hi guys.


If you are able to find it in UK it is going to be expensive for sure, yes it grows up to 24" of shell and his bite is quite dangerous to the point that a full grown individual can maim a careless handler, but their growth rate is very slow because they live too long.

It is supposed they can live up to 70 years in captivity although it is known about individuials of 150 years old.... .

Cheers.

What you been feeding him and what tank size?

This turtles are commonly fed with live feeders although one can give them fish fillet, squid fillet and chiken.

It is hard to get them into non living stuff as food but it can be accomplishe however they need life feeders every now and then because it is said that if they dont feed on this source they can suffer eye edema.


At this moment he is 135 litre tank that would do for some years.



Cheers.

Ah I see, I take it the fish in the tank aswell are feeders then? What fish you using?

looking good mate

Minnows, coy fish, caryfish mainly.Cheers Bandit

North wales m8, www.the-livingrainforest.co.uk ul need to phone to check stock as he doesnt lis them, and i spoke to him 3 weeks ago so mite not av them now bt ucld try, thinken bout fonen again masrlf now!lol

defo not cheap, but a suppose theyl prob outlive us with the rite care , also 888reptiles do a starter tank with all the filters etc for £250 so ur talkin £450 all in, and as armand says ther slow growers so u would get a good turn out that tank before needing a new one! personaly a think ther worth evry penny, but a hav to much going on at the mo it wouldnt be fair to get one!! but saying that a think ther putting a stop to importing them!!!!!

Nice terapin Olmond Still taking it for walks and throwing it sticks 'n' stuff

Don't make me laugh any more Rich, it hurts !

I agree, nice terapin, not something I would like though. Looks very prehistoric.

When it tries to escape he throws his hat over it, sorry Almond
