Well after searching high and low i finally found me an adult female Texas Map Turtle. I'm so excited on this breeding project, my male has already hooked up with her within the first 20 minutes of me putting her in the tank. My plan is to take 1/4 of all the hatchlings each year and raise them up for 1.5 yrs and release them to untouched parts of the Concho River (by untouched i mean polluted and high herping area). The rest will be placed into other breeders hands. The one male I have is a WC out of the colorado drain off and young female hatchling was found in the conch drain-off. As for the adult female I have, i have no clue on where the parents came from, but she was originally purchased in California. Regardless, it feels great to have fresh bloodlines all across the board.
