Oh the land turtles.

[tortadise]

I love me some tortoises for sure. But like some of the turtles too. Especially plain OL box turtles.
They get pretty when you clean them up.

And some wee Easterns and a yearling 3 toe

Gotta love some fat Nicaraguan wood turtles too.

These girls both weigh 2 pounds. Couldn't find the others. They like to burrow in mulch and leaves.

And one of my favorites the spiny chowing some mushrooms

Ahh okay.. Cool species but not my conditions. Also they are very cheap here and I think that they aren't in good conditions when they arrive when they are so cheap...

Yeah they're cheap here too. I've had no issues with them adapting though. The Mexican rhinnoclemys are very rare here.

Yes rubida is really rare here too..
But you can get it for 1000€ hatchling...

Awesome. Wish I could fine some hatchlings here.I'm working on getting an adult pair. But it's difficult finding them so when you do the owners are very very reserved in keeping them.

Oh okay.. Yes but I think they're 100% illegal imports from America.. I saw an adult pair of them in Russia 5000€.. Do you can't import them by yourself? The transport wouldn't be so difficult because the way isn't soo long?? Or are there government problem?

Importing is no issues. Just need cites paperwork. So I may bug you for the ones available in Germany.

 

[juli11]

Ah okay... Here importing animals isn't a big problem NORMALLY if they are on WA2. WA1 animals make problems...
Haha they aren't available in Germany. Some time but really not often in Italy or in Russia...
