Amazing! I've never known zoos to hatch them until now.

Heres a rare treat. Platysternons hatching (the only pictures around I think?). From several years back. Shared photo from Sue Teidemann.
I had contacted her a while back for breeding advice, etc.
Thought Gerard and Anthony would enjoy these too :)
Introducing "Popeye". Was hoping he'd be a female, but it was difficult to tell by the sellers pictures. He's huge with a 7 inch carapace length and a bit over weight and carapace wear.
Still happy with him, very unique.
I recently got these back from a friend. Nice to have them back again after 4 years:)
1 adult female, 1 sub adult female, 1 adult male.
Check out the size of the adult female and adult male together.
The females get huge.
Hi,
I'm new to the boards here. The main species I work with are Platysternon Megacephalum. They are my favorite turtles.
Anyone else here currently have any Platys?
Thanks,
Mark
