i have a chance to get a 8 inch fly river turtle for a real good price. I am wondering if this turtle looks healthy to you. There are some white stuff near the nose and a black smudge near the bottom of the mouth.
Is the rough looking shell look normal too? I'm no expert but the turtle looks pretty healthy. just making sure if it has fungus or anything.

Here are some pics:

I know very little about the specific health issues of the FRT but just want to chime in and say GODDAMN THAT IS CUTE. And I'm jealous.

i'm still deciding if I will get it or not. If I do, i'll put it in a 75 gallon tank for now. The owner has it in a 40 gallon tank. i'm actually hoping to sell my armatus.

The FRT is actually with a bunch of fish in the tank including bichirs.

I would go for it. If you have to get rid of him later on you should have no problem selling him

i've always wanted a FRT and this is a chance for me to get one for a good price. I still remember the good ol days when they were only a fraction of the price though. lol

Well - what's the "good price" ? He looks O K - not the nicest, but healthy enough so as not to be too much of an issue.
