diamond back (M. terrapin)

[vicedretard]

anyone have any ideas how i can get my hand on one of these i have been intrigued by their beauty...please dont recommend turtlesale.com...thanks all

 

[varanio]

kingsnake.com go to turtle classifieds and there are lots there for sale at this particular moment breeding season is in peak. Hope this helps... oh and concentrics are the way to go ...beautiful aniamls.

OMG I love the concentrics, absolutely adore them! I'd love a concentric with another turtle like an albino RES or something.

Kingsnake.com has them as already said.

 

[varanio]

here is a great example of a concentrics potential

lol I thought you ment rattlesnake.

 

[vicedretard]

nope scarred to death of snakes honestly probably cause i have never seen one...

what a beautifull turtle..

 

[vicedretard]

i was thinking concentric or northern...any who i know diamondbacks are brackish normally but alot of the ones on kingsnake say freshwater raised and healthy...and any breeder will say their hatchlings are healthy...but what im wondering is it since they were born in freshwater is it ok to keep them in the freshwater and since they are supposed to be brackish in nature will keeping them in freshwater shorten their life expectancy...

 

[loconorc]

They are often labeled 'freshwater raised' when CB, so I am assuming they can given they are practically born in FW.

Hey varanio, is that concentric the one in the recent ad? That pic looks familiar. I think I might be thinking of that gorgeous headshot in the ad....

I know for a fact serpent's den does indeed raise their DBT's in freshwater. Seen their facility.
