Fly River Turtle

[Sundew]

Fly River Turtles, not a fish, but really cool! Are captive born young available and are they even legal in the U.S.? I have seen them in public aquaria, but not on reptile sites. My guess is they are expensive?

illegal to sell or buy but posesing them might be another sticky issue depending on when you obtained it and if you have the paper work.

I think that's higher than average going price.. it's because they could get in much trouble for selling them so they price high to take the risk.. but across the board prices of FRT's have went up..
