Very comon;) Dont know your local price but i cam get chinis by 20 euro each. I would recomend that you start by reserching deeply and then decide wich one to get. Dont forget spineys can get pretty big. I would also recomend that you get a male specimen to avoid egg laying related problems:D Males also smaller

I did some research about them to decide if i should get them
most likely Ill get chinese soft shell if i get one

Is'nt the Indian Flap Shell endangered ?
No it isnt;) well at least for now because like most asian turts it will probably become in danger in the medium term future because of the capture for chinese food markets. However as of now is comon turt in most of its range. However its on the apendix 1 of cites because it was asked to be given such a conservasion priority by Butan many years ago. Reserch has shown it doesant deserve it, however that doesant afect its cites status so its cataloged as endangered without being wich makes them almost inpossible to get wich is a shame since they are neat litle turts. But that may be about to change since there are a handfull of people that bred them both in the US and in Europe:D
