i understand poachers who do it to feed their family, but these big scale smugglers greed ruin everything for the small guys.

HAAA I don't remember even seeing it there. Been a while since Ive been there, Im just getting back into the hobby again after a 2 yr hiatus or so. Im sure its over a foot though, and to be honest, I only really like the FRT when theyre small. They get uglier and uglier as they grow IMO, whether that be from bad diet, or genetics I DK. I got friends in other countries that rub it in that they have little 3 inch FRT turtles. Tease me with pics. I will have an FRT someday...
