After tons of research I decided to indulge my inner child and got a Matamata turtle for my 150 tall. It is over 4 inches across its carapace....not a tiny guy at all!

Enjoy the pics!! I cannot wait to get to know it!

Before you flame my setup be aware I read every thread I could find and every website. :chillpill: I spoke to 3 other mata keepers. I watched Cousteua video of divers with Mata at over 15 feet in the Amazon. My turtle perch will be its main hang out but i fully expect it to explore the whole tank eventually!! Thanks!!!! :D
