Rapps Marmorata

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I knew he was out of town that is why I haven't bothered him,YET.
Hey P, So the pic of the marm on his site is what the Xingu region will
look like as an adult? I thought the Black and White variant was from Trombetas.
I was able to find a juvie pics, but was told that some of the pics on his pages were sometimes a generic pic, not necessarily of a regional variant.
 
Each location has variants, sometimes there are several variants within the same river, since they are so huge. Pretty sure those ones on his website are what they are gonna look like.

Here is a link to some Rio Trombetas marms...;)

Nice eh?
 
I know at one time you thought that mine looked like it was from the Trombetas intead of the Tapajos like the vendor tried to tell me. So if my female colors out like that I will be totally ecstatic.
 
Now you have gone and ruined my fantasy.:cry:
 
PP, is that Herbert in your avatar?

If so I had no idea that FRT got that big!
 
LOL!! I thought you were talkin about the one with Magan in it, LoL!! I know what you are talkin about though, I was messing around trying to pick an avatar. You mean THIS turtle! ;) Nope, its a Spiny softshell I found in the Platte River in Nebraska. I was walking barefoot down the middle of the river and stepped on it...LoL! Needless to say I caught it. Was probably the most grumpy, aggressive turtle I have ever caught. I had just caught a common snapper about the same size three days prior to this one, but it wasn't near as aggressive as the softshell. LoL I wish Herbs was that big!! She is bigger than my hand now though, its crazy!!
