I agree, I've had many in the past. Only a few hand fulls now but working to change that

I actually had to take her with me to get it because she was out of school sick, but thankfully the box had something for me in it as well, so i had cover.

Most excellent.
My bestfriend/psudosister/gardian angel is coming to visit early next year. She actually knows how to use a camera, can't wait to actually have decent representative photos of everything taken

It seems it did happen???
These turtles are supposedly ultra rare, can only imagine what you paid for the bugger @jcase , but the turtle is beautiful!
(Do update us as your collection grows, these turtles are proper beauties!)
Cheaper than the radiata, more than the Philippine box turtles.
Had to try right?

Put me down for 5 or 6 of those...
See that is being greedy, I only want 1.3 or 2.2 lol
*shifty eyes* uh I've got a 17 hour drive coming up in 2 weeks, will post some pictures...
Bought my wife really good Hamilton tickets and surprised her on valentine's day. Probably the best gift I could have gotten her, she cried, was sad "she didn't get me anything that nice". I told it was ok, that I had arranged for her to get me a few good gifts too lol.
Work in progress, but first attempt at a cuora rearing rack
Bottom shelf is the bucket filter and and plant tank, with grow lights.
Everything is plumbed together, and seems to work well. Very slow trickle feed system.
Top left tub is heated quite a bit by the CHEs (for Siren), the trickle feed from that tub raises the water temp by a couple degrees in the rest of the tubs.
I still need to clean up the wiring, and add 3 basking lamps to the bottom ones before they are in use, but I'm happy for now.

Which subspecies is this? One of the amboinensis?
Do you have any galbinifrons yet? I always thought those looked super cool.
It is a subadult female of the Philippine locale. I really hate calling them amboinensis, they are quite unlike the true amboinensis ive had in the past, and will have their own species soon enough.
No, the galbinifron complex isn't really on my radar that much, and ive had them years ago.
4 month transformation, first two photos are from Jay's advertising on 11/8/2021, third photo I took yesterday 3/8/2022. Carapace looked so deformed in the original photos, but by the time I got the turtle it had mostly filled in, and now it is entirely normal. I can't believe I almost dismissed this "deformed" turtle.
