As a matter of fact this turtle of mine is an endemic spicies to the United States only and the scientific name is that of Macrochlemys Tenminicki.
What happen with the picts of your turtle, nothing shows up?????
That's cool, I've never seen a M. tenminicki before. Can't wait to see him get bigger!
I don't know what happened to the photos, maybe I didn't wait for them to upload completely...
How is the availability of fish in Mexico City? Anything really exotic (Asian Aros or Snakeheads, for example)? There was a member from Guadalajara that said that Mexico doesn't have many really good fish stores but that Mexico City was the exception to that rule. I've been to a few fish stores in Mexico (Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Oaxaca) but I've never seen anything in the way of monsters.

I'm sure you've seen one before Dan, that's the scientific name of the Alligator Snapping Turtle.

I guess I should have known that... For some reason I was thinking they were also in the Chelydra genus.
Actually, I've only seen one Alligator Snapper in real life, but I've seen enough photos that I should have recognized the little bugger!
