The Chitra had a Carapace length of at least 3 ft..Was huge!

I could have got a group of hatchlings a few years ago, they were so awesome. Now, every once in awhile, a buddy make me remember that I don't have them and why that sucks. Thanks man! Lol! I have to go to Wayne's now and play with his.

They are an awesome looking species. One of the most unique turtles there is. I always think about Russ Gurley's "case study" about their feeding habits in captivity. That's something I'd pay money to see.
