0.1 North American Wood Turtle

Selling my female NA Wood turtle. She is absolutely perfect, great appetite, healthy and ready for a male. This gorgeous female was collected from Michigan at a young age and is now a 15 plus year LTC. Her shell doesn't have a scratch or chip on it. Unbelievable condition and pattern.. Her new owner will be extremely pleased.

$1,100.00 shipped or delivery to Daytona Reptile Expo this weekend.

*trades considered: high end turtles/tortoise species*

Thank you for looking.

As far as I know, Michigan has protected Clemmys/Glyptemys insculpta since at least 1989. Is there a collection permit for this animal?

John,
I only have the info from the previous keeper regarding its time in captivity. He personally had her for more than 15 years. That's said, he wasn't the first keeper so rather than make assumed statements regarding her actual captive time span, I passed on the information by stating 15 PLUS year LTC. I can see where this could insinuate that she was collected around that time. Personally, I never enjoy obtaining animals with an assumed history so I'm very careful to pass on history just as it was relayed to me. I obtained this animal in my home state of Florida. Thanks. -Jason

Thank you for the elaboration, Jason. I had wrongly assumed that it was collected 15 years ago, but I see now why I shouldn't have assumed that. It sure is a beautiful animal, and I wish you the best of luck with the sale.

I'm interested. I have trades available or am willing to buy outright

I just purchased a beautiful fenced 1/2 acre here in Florida, she would love it here. I plan to get a male for her soon as well. Please call or text 850 324 4250

Thanks, I'll be at Daytona as well

Charles, sounds good buddy. I'll contact you soon as well.

Recon Charlie, Acquiring the group will only be half the battle. It took me years to assemble my group and tens of thousands of dollars to reproduce their natural stream habitat here with a 9000 gallon pond/stream. I do this as a passion with these turtles, and am committed to providing for them. I have a group already, the setup already, and the knowledge and experience already to provide for these turtles in the Deep South. It takes a lot more than just some fenced in land to properly care for these guys. I would get their habitat complete long before I try to get any turtles, and especially now as they will need to acclimate before the weather starts changing. I would be more than willing to assist you in setting up a area for them but I know that the best option for this turtle at this point, is for it to join my group in paradise. Personally if I were you, I'd start with some younger turtles until you have the space setup for the larger adults.
