prepare a few ks first then only ask around. those morphs are not difficult to find when you have the $$$. as i mentioned in V3, sellers usually won't stock up on them if there is no order. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  pastel, 2 headed also got if you're willing to fork out serious ks.

naa, no need for apologies. nothing wrong... it's just that sellers usually would require some deposits, sometimes full amount, before making orders. This post has been edited by camillenoir: Dec 16 2008, 03:01 PM

those are minor and a turtle that size would most likely survive. and that sure looks like claw marks/damage from foreign objects.
check your tank, maybe the turtle hits sharp objects (edge of filters/skimmers) or something. and your substrate (gravel) is definitely too rough for piggies.
standard treatment procedure for injuries on softshell turtles that i usually implement are just the usage of aquarium salt and raised temperatures (85-86 degrees f)

no substrate (bare bottom) works fine for most keepers.
raise temperature of course use heater (with thermostat better)
anyway, those gravels would likely only cause injuries to the plastron (unless that piggy swims upside down) so there must be something else in the tank.
