NOTE: This is a group sale for a group of 11 CB 2016 hatchlings and 6 CB 2015 hatchlings. Two have imperfect scutes. Not sexable.
Enclosure: Outdoor housing whenever possible is the best way to go. This species is not the best of swimmers and prefers a heavily planted setup with lots of plants/rocks to hang on to. Hatchlings are maintained in cement mixing tubs with about 3" of water and lots of plants to hide and hang on to. They handle cold very well.
Diet: Feeding on Zoomed hatchling pellets and exo terra pellets. I use Mazuri freshwater aquatic turtle pellets for juveniles and adults with treats of aquatic snails, water lettuce and Omegaone turtle pellets. They also relish worms and pillbugs.
Who am I? My name is Michael. I am a software engineer by profession and conservationist by passion. I have been keeping and caring for turtles and tortoises since 2001. I breed a few species of turtles and tortoises with a focus on Asian species. I offer captive bred hatchlings to others with the hope of getting them started with healthy well started animals so they will have a good experience and will enjoy the hobby and hopefully down the road will help with chelonian conservation.
What to expect: I am happy to answer any questions you have, before and after the transaction is over. The most important thing for me is that my hatchlings get a good home so if you are new to the hobby then I am happy to help you with every aspect of their care. E-mail is the best way to stay in touch with me but as time permits I will be happy to answer your questions via a call. My support does not stop once the hatchling reaches you and you are welcome to e-mail me whenever you have any questions.
