Freshwater turtles. What are the fastest growing, best looking species from Central and South America?


The two have no correlation with each other.......

The best looking would be subject to interpretation too.......

Oh they could have a correlation, it just probably wouldn't be significant :naughty:.
 
you are probably going to want to go with snappers, they grow very quickly and look very interesting. Most turtles will grow rapidly up until the 4-6" mark before they start slow down (ally snappers included).

Since when are you going to find snapping Turtles in South America?

They're there.......But do you know of any in Private hands?


Lets try this again - The fastest grower is no where near the best looking........

Podocnemis Erythrocephala is probably the best looking out of any of the commerically available Turtles to come out of South America.........But in the grand scheme of things, they have a face only a mother could love........But that is subject to interpretation........


Batagur Baska is one of the fastest growing Turtles I've seen.......But you won't see any commercially available......ever.......
