Not just newbies, but quite a few members have trouble getting threads started in this category. Usually you can post it in the "General" section and ask a moderator (in your post) to move it for you (which I will do right now - in this case "Tortoises in the News").

I don't know about the diamond back terrapins, but RES are pretty bitey. Can you imagine if one of them bit him on a tender spot during transport?

Thank you Yvonne.

I would have suspected they were being taken for food but it seems there is also demand for pet turtles in China? I had no idea!

Interesting, not a good way to transport, specially for the turtles being they need to be in water! And, this is how species get into trouble. Glad they caught him.
