• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

1.1 adult Twistneck turtles (Platemys platycephala) available. They have a large range across South America. They are wild caught. They remind me of a flat box turtle. Preferring shallow water and land. They enjoy their protein. I imported these from Peru on 1/13/25 and can provide the 3-177. So they didn’t just come in 3 days ago and being sent out. They’ve been being fed daily. Currently feeding on super worms, reptomin pellets, mazuri turtle diet, ground turkey, pinky mice, etc, Eating non stop. The most commonly imported ones are from Guyana and Suriname. Exact two available. Heavy and eating great.

P. p. melanonata classifieds as it’s own sub species inhabits the western territory (Ecuador and adjacent northern Peru). The chief distinction between these subspecies is the carapace coloration. P. p. melanonata, (western twist-necked turtle or black-backed twist-necked turtle), has an entirely dark brown or black top shell.

$500.00 plus shipping for the pair.

Below is a very informative link on the species and subspecies.
