    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Wanted boureti, gabinifrons, picturata, mouhotii, obsti

Hi everyone, I know there are people out there that work with some of the turtles I am looking to acquire. Up til now I have only had minimal success with only obtaining a 2015 C. m. mouhotii. I am interested in eventually getting a group of each of the below turtles to hopefully breed. If anyone has any they would be willing to part with I would love to hear from you. I already have every North American Box turtle that I care to work with and I guess this is just a natural progression that my interest is taking me. Thank you for taking the time to read my ad. Hope to hear from some of you! Richard [email protected]

Bourret's Box Turtle - Cuora galbinifrons bourreti

Flowerback Box Turtle - Cuora galbinifrons galbinifrons

Southern Vietnamese Box Turtle - Cuora galbinifrons picturata

Keeled Box Turtle - Cuora mouhotii mouhotii

Box turtle - Cuora mouhotii obsti

Three-Banded Turtle - Cuora trifasciata
 
I myself am also trying to work with more species in the Cuora genus!! My favorite genus of turtle in the world! Currently only have Flavomarginata though. Check out the turtle source. They have one splits cute Trifasciata. That's the only other time I've seen that species available. Good luck and hopefully we can keep in touch when you produce some babies!!

Also may be worth it to hit up Mike Llorett. He had mouhotii at one time. And he has a GORGEOUS male flowerback. I know he won't sell it but is definitely looking for some females to pair it with
 
I think my job would be easier if I have some good Asian trading material. Most of the people that have what I am looking for are not motivated by money. Unfortunately I am just getting started with the Cuora groups. But, maybe one day I will get where I want to be. Thanks again Adam. Richard
