QUOTE(nightelf_on9 @ Feb 23 2009, 06:15 PM) [WTA] where can I buy star tortoise? What is the market price now? It all depends on what size you after and from which you buy them from on the supply line - Retailer , their supplier , wholesaler , importer or similar !!Or go straight to a breeder if you know one !! But should be the most expensive of all even when compared to retailer !! |

QUOTE(slackerz @ Mar 20 2009, 08:43 PM) really?i dun know that.thanks for the info..maybe ill try to google the pic..i just know that some people harvest them for food.  QUOTE(http://www.asianturtle.org/htm/species_Notochelys_platynota.html) Comments: This interesting turtle, very rare in captivity, has a distinctive flattened, elongated, and lightly grooved carapace. It has the reputation for doing poorly in captivity but new husbandry methods, including the use of large, warm, well-planted enclosures, and advances in deparasitization and veterinary protocols, are producing successes in keeping this turtle alive and well. The bright yellow to apple-green carapaces of the hatchlings make them some of the most beautiful young turtles in the world. |
