Does anyone have this species of cuora? I know they are quite seldomly found, and very endangered. Just seeing if any of the turtle folks here have any they work with.

I know the guy who owns turtlesandtortoises.com sold some CBB hatchlings a few weeks ago. He may have some in the incubator
Jay. I will call him and see if it is so.

No, that beauty lives at the St Louis zoo. They have some beauties there and some youngsters I would have loved to take home with me. I fell for them quickly and now after hearing the price tags they come with, no wonder I fell for them.
All of the Chinese Cuora carry a hefty price tag now that most are functionally extinct. The only exception would be Flavomarginata. There are a few private keepers that produce decent numbers of Trifasciata, and they still carry a $1500 price tag.....

This is unfortunate, and what I have been finding out. I suppose another scenario where I waited to long. But I would prefer to work with captives. Not a lot of research or info on these guys. Just that they are as you say "functionally extinct".
Wow twas a while back. I don't really keep up with turtles too much. But I suppose it did sail a while back. During that time though, I wouldn't trade my obtainees of tortoises I got during that time though. The hunt is on.
Keep us posted ;-)

Well, of course McCord has and breeds them. Will
Does anyone know of anyone who has flavomarginatas up for sale or is breeding them....ones with brighter color?

Join the TSA, then contact Ray Farrell. He is a great resource for flavos and for information regarding them.
One sold for dirt cheap yesterday on Fauna, I think.
There is this trio. I would request photos if you are ready to buy.
