I have actually gotten some from a Kingsnake source some years ago.

ya the morphs are very expensive which is the reason i picked up this lime green morph
hoping future breeding will produce some other morphs given i get another morph to breed
it with. try kingsnake also though prices on it is kinda pricey it's got a good selection in its
classifieds.

im farmiliar with kingsnake .... id like to go back 5-10 yrs for turtle morph prices lol... it all just really blew up recently. albino RES used to go for a mere $200 or cheaper. seeing specimen that used to be $50-100 now for 1-10k is just ridiculous.


heres my favorite species....apalone ferox w/c in florida

kingsnake isnt bad better than those retail sites like ts and etc. if you want something
that's more rarer try looking for a private breeder, theyre usually cheaper than most
or you can try and get some b grade or lower specimens which are even cheaper!

yup prices are ridiculous now...no joke... $200 was expensive if we're talking back then usual
goin rate was like 80-100 and regular res were 1-2 lol. nice soft shell! do you own those or just
pictures off the web?

I wish i could have more turtles. I might have to go to south jersey and catch some terrapins. its illegal to sell turtles as pets in NJ. I dont know how illegal it is to keep them but i have 2 red eared sliders that i rescued about 4 years ago from some lady trying to ship them to colombia via fedex! they are older, huge, and i love them, and they would have had a ton of babies if i knew how to properly care for the eggs. too much work for me. but they are definitely cool.

and get another one but went the whole 9 this time lol.

it's illegal to sell/buy/keep? thats weird never knew that.

Not sure about keep. I think just purchase. Like I think shops used to/still might get away with "giving away" a "Free turtle" when you buy a complete setup and making up for the cost in markups.
