Some lovely added tortoises and turtles to the collection the past week.
Another 2.3 heosemys depressa (Arakan Forest Turtle)to even out to a 3.3 group. These are most exciting for us. In all hopes to hatch some eggs from them a portion of the offspring will be slated to be sent back to Bangladesh, microchipped, and radio transmitter installed and released into the wilds in which they come. This project I posted but unfortunately had to remove because of sensitive material from the Bengali government. Anyways this species, Manouria emys Phayrie, Cuora mohoutii, indotestudo elongata are all species we plan to send back. The release will be a soft release in controlled or rather contained enclosures and then hard released for tracking and adaptive data. Blah blah. Here's the pics of a few of them. Courtship has already taken place out of the shipping box.
Another quite rare species of turtle in the pet/conservation trade. Fascinating species to work with.
Indian brown roofed turtle(pangshura smithi)
And finally found a proven female Bolivian redfoot for a single male that was lonely.
and last but not least some snake neck turtles. These guys crack me up. Also another Chinese golden thread turtle but I haven't snapped a pic of him yet.
