These guys are a trip..........Anyone who's into big Turtles needs a few. Who couldn't pass up a Turtle thats 24" + and weighs 50-100lbs?

Really cool turtles I actualy keep a very close relative a female black marsh only that thouse are like 50 times bigger Good to know more people are getting them and treating them good, that may just save them from extincion. Untill now cb has been very ocasional, we need more babys, hopefully they will come in loads in a not very far away future

In an 8ft stock tank for the moment...........The big Male has been in that setup for close to a year now

Are they cb or long term captives? any plans to breed in the long run?

Sweet turtles, In the past I had a 28 lb alligator snapper. That sucker was mean. I loved to watch it hunt its food down in the pond.
