Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Fly River Turtles
I am looking to hear from anyone who has captive born/raised FRT's and may want to sell them ... I am also interested in hearing from people who keep these animals so that I may ask some advice on husbandry ... thanks!

there are no reported confirmed cases of FRT being bred in captivity.

I can't help with locating baby FRT. i have what I believe is a female 10'. ( I say female based on the tale). I have this turtle for 4 years. bought it when it was around 4' in chicago. i have not seen any offered since then. Use to be you would see them at the shows for 250-300 for some beat up babies.I got lucky with this one,i know people who bought babies that never took and died. This one eats like a pig. be prepared to have a big enclosure for your FRT. Mine is in a 210 gallon tank and I will need to upgrade soon at the rate it is growing.
Good luck.

What show did you ever see a pig-nose for less than $500?

Lee watson reptile show in streamwood IL. They use to sell babies for 300-350 but they were banged up.. i saw a few at a local show in houston TX a few years back for about the price. I got lucky with the one i picked up. I bought her(him) from a guy trying to sell it to a vendor.She (he ) was already established.I haven't seen FRT for sale at any shows in the past few years.

Did you really search?
I have come upon a few 4" fly river turtles... for around $550ea. Jay at Turtles & Tortoises has two last I checked. Double check with him. They're easier to find, and not that rare.. just gotta look.

I'm pretty sure the Bronx Zoo/NYC has bred them in there huge Jungle World enclosure. They've also bred halmintonii's in the same enclosure. Saw babies from both being species displayed in their reptile world juevi area a couple of years ago. I think there is at least a couple of people in Florida working with colonies on FRTs in their ponds. If they can breed halmintonii's, they can likely breed FRTs. Would love to see cb FRT's in a couple of years from US collections instead of those CH animals that come in through Asia. Unfortunately, not many people will have the proper space to house these.
