Does anyone here have one of these to share info about?
I heard of them long ago, but just recently learned there are breeders now who offer them for sale. They're a little pricey, around $450 a hatchling, but so incredible. And they only require small enclosures for their size since they don't move around much. They mainly sit still in ambush mode waiting for a fish.
I just watched mata mata youtube videos for the past hour. I'm in love. Their shell is like a snapping turtle and their head is like something from Star Wars with a great big smile. <3
