Does anybody keep some of these guys? I saw these guys at a zoo a few years ago and thought they were pretty awesome, yesterday I saw one at the show I went to and it was surprisingly affordable, except for the fact that I'm almost completely broke right now, so all I bought yesterday was mealies to start a colony with. I'm definitely considering going back in the next couple months when I have money and trying to get my hands on one or finding out if/when the breeder is likely to have some more. I've been reading up on them, but does anyone have any tips or pointers about keeping them?

I do. Love them
As hatchlings there so alive and as they age they get great personality
Any pics of the turtle and setup?

The one I saw yesterday was a tiny hatchling, so that is the size I will likely get (that's the size I got my two current turtles at). I'll probably start it off in a 10 or 20L/29 like I did my other hatchlings and upgrade as needed
