They're so cool... definatly on my list of animals I want to own in my lifetime.

I saw 'em for $600, maybe 2" hatchlings.
 
what do you hand feed your turtle? also that 10.0 bulb you use-is it the desert reptile bulb you find at reptile shops?

He eats algae wafers out of my hands all the time. I am using the 10.0 desert bulb too. I have a reptile light clipped to the side of my tank.

Thanks studd muffin.
 
Fly River Turtles do not need UVB lighting, most Turtles need it for proper calcium metabolization process, to help with their Appetites, for their Shells, etc and get it via Basking with a proper UBV light, but Fly River Turtles do not Bask and UVB does not penetrate Water, so basically they are a waste in a set-up for them.
