i think it sold because it wasnt there last time i went in

Karen from radical reptiles has a big pond full of adults and she breeds them and gets quite a few hatchlings every year so thats your best bet. although hatchlings are on such high demand that you will probably have to wait till next breeding season and go on a waiting list.

hey all thanks for the leads, i will follow them up this week and see how i go. in terms of size, im after anything about fist sized or smaller roughly? smaller the better but it sounds like small turtles are hard to come by...

4th of feb? is that when the new keepers list gets announced? hopefully flattys do get moved to cat 3 and oblongs to cat 4 seeing as oblongs require alot more work with water quality and dont cope as well in captivity from the experience i have had with them.

In effect, yes because that will be the WAHS meeting where we have undertaken to discuss the society’s Submission to DEC and their response to that submission.

I’ve got to agree with you on Oblongs being more sensitive to water quality than Flat-shelled.

saw some nice juvies at Pet City Balcatta the other day... flat shelled and oblong. they're always a little pricey there i think but they've definately got them
