I know a few companies that do business with Claude on a consistant basis. However, when it comes to sensitive Cuora species, it would be better to pony up the money and buy from someone who knows how to care for, and acclimate the animals. 98% of the people who are advertising these animals are not keepers themselves, but middlemen who either have the source ( Only 3 sources have brought in these animals) drop ship, or only have the animals in their possesion while they are packing them. These individuals only know the general consesus, but not species specific care. This is the difference between having success or failure with this species, or any other Vietnamese Chelonians
