New FRT.. its so small at barely 3" shell. Surprisingly, it gets along fine with the bigger frt.

wicked - if you read frt websites they can get pretty demanding with water params.
but from personal experience and through ppl that own them, all they need is clean
water.. ph varied from one to another. Maybe bask them for 1 hr once a week under sunlight to get their UV.. and thats it.

Da@n! If only I'd known. I bought my 3 FRTs 3 years ago for $65/each. If I'd known the prices were going to go this high, I would have bought them in batches of 10.
Here's one you'd need to take a 2nd mortgage to get:

nice frt bro ive been dealing studying those for a whille now they are very nice turtles, im so glade we can have them in california so more people can have the chance to own them doesnt matter to me i was going to have one anyway....
ive studied that you can put briodine on the shell to heal the cuts and bits on him works very well i do this twice a week for damaged shells brings back that natural dark olive color that should have ive been told that melfix solution works well also but yes ive had them divided in a tank but if your is big they sould be fine. thanks for sharring bro

wow havnt seen one like this is that an albino frt ? and yes these guys can get up in price but now that alot of more stores carry them they are not as much about 140-160 for most but some stores will try to get you for about 200 for a baby one

Yep, that's an albino. Here's one a little bit more moderately priced. I think it sold for $1200 as a leucistic FRT:

leucistics are more plentiful than albinos? i always assumed it was the other way around..
