Usually Black emys - M.emys phayrei Thailand upwards

Brown emys - M.emys emys South of Thailand all the way to Borneo and Sumatra Island

Ease/cheapness of getting locally will be the Brown emys


What do you keep at the moment ?

Wow so many but do prepare for them well when they grow up !! Lots of feeding beside lots of water change unless v good filter installed

Brown can be anything from free to rm 1000 for large specimen
Black since can't be caught locally range from rm 500 n up
Where or who you get them from beside how many will also directly determine the price quoted !!

Radiated should be your best bet as price used to be the deterent from getting them !! Nowadays some black emys (adpost.com has one asking rm1xxx) has higher asking price than average radiated !!

Since your first land tort why not get something local n cheaper than all the above - elongated tortoise
