well done wayne - that's exactly what I was thinking - a very good pick up for $13

Bruce - they're not that rare over here - you see them fairly frequently at certain times of the year.

I'd buy it if it were me.

yep, that's a trachy. A sad, malnourished trachy. Fatten that guy up, and give him lot's of shelter. They love hiding. BTW, $13 is a GREAT price. I got my 7" trachy for $40

can anyone tell if it is a male or female

I have a 12" Trachy, they are awesome and he will attack me like a terrier. He lives on his own though as very aggressive. Their mouths are like velcro.

An excellent pick up!!

I have a Gulper as well which has more character but I wouldn't be without a Trachy

it parked itself between a rock and the glass could he be stuck
