just warning you know, there's usually not that many turtles at expos, and sorry i don't know the prices.

Get a mata mata... I think they are about 250$..

Chinese Softshells should be less than 50$..

Im not sure of the exact prices..

Mata mata would be pretty cool, but I'm aiming for something smaller

Sorry dude, but I don't think you can help me. You live in India and the pricess over here are alot different then where you live. Terrapins are nice, but it;'s not what I'm looking for at the moment.

Agree..with the prices.. But i did see a few thread with pics that show the prices.. and i think some of the turts here are cheaper than there.. Eg. Albino Chinese Softshells were available at 50$...and i think in the US they went for more than 100$..

I hope you are able to get the turtle ur looking for within your budget...

Depends what species you want when it comes to Mud and Musk Turtles. Some or the rarer species can go for quite a bit. Stinkpots are usually the cheapest of the bunch. I paid $20 for my female Florida Stinkpot and I think my juvenile Red Cheek Mud Turtle was around $30.

If you are close to Ypsilanti Michigan theres a asian food market on Washtenaw that sells softshell turtles by the pound for food.

I like the prices I'm hearing so far, sounds good. Thanks
