• 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.

CB Kwangtung river turtle hatchlings with bright red plastron. Active, feeding well and great size.

P.S: Adult male pictured is not for sale.

Enclosure: Outdoor housing when possible is the way to go. This is a cold hardy species but make sure that it can safely tuck away well below the freeze line. I would not leave them outdoors if your area has extreme winters.

Diet:Feeding on Zoomed hatchling turtle pellets, thawed beefheart, thawed bloodworms and live daphnia.

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 animals 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.

See the reviews about me at https://www.shelledfriends.com/reviews

Guarantee: Guaranteed to be alive and outwardly healthy upon arrival if signed for upon delivery. Full refund, yes including the shipping cost, if the animal does not reach you alive, no excuses given.

Price: $60 each plus shipping or 5 for $325 including shipping.

Shipping: I will ship via Reptilesexpress for next day arrival. At this time I am shipping only to hubs for pickup and ship on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only, weather permitting. I will be checking weather at my end, at the Memphis hub and at your end to determine if it is safe to ship.

NOTE: I am in winter shipping mode and will be using a 12x9x6 box, or larger if needed, along with a 72 hour heat pack and a Phase 22 cryopack. The larger box size might result in slightly larger shipping cost but is the safest way to ship right now.


Packaging:
I will always use a box with styrofoam lining. No additional cost for the box.

Payment:
- Venmo, Cashapp and Paypal accepted.


Terms of Sale
When you order turtle(s) or tortoise(s) from me you acknowledge that you have read and agree to all the terms mentioned below

1. All turtles under 4” are sold from one hobbyist (me) to another hobbyist. The turtles are not sold to be pets but for educational, display or scientific purposes only.

2. No sales to minors. By contacting me you acknowledge that you are over 18 years old.

3. No returns. All animals are represented accurately and it is your responsibility to read the description closely.

4. All animals are guaranteed to be healthy when they arrive. It is your responsibility to make sure you are aware of the requirements of the species you are purchasing and have the enclosure ready and setup properly before the animals arrives. Research should already be done prior to the order; not after you receive the turtle.

5. I guarantee live arrival, even if FedEx messes up delivery. You should be available to sign and receive the package at the first attempt or if picking up at the hub you should pick up the package within an hour of arrival. Failure to do so will nullify the live arrival guarantee.

6. If there is a problem with the shipment then you should report it within an hour of arrival of the shipment.

7. In the unfortunate event of Dead on Arrival (DOA) I need you to contact me within an hour of arrival of the package. I will need you to ship the deceased animal back to me the same day for a full refund, including shipping cost. All animals I ship out are marked and will be verified before a refund is issued.

8. If there is a health issue with the animal that you just received then report it by the end of the day of arrival and we will respond with what needs to be done. Note that if you choose to take the animal to a veterinarian then you are responsible for all financial obligations and the vet bill will not be covered by us.

9. All animals are sold as unsexed unless the sex is explicitly specified.

10. It is your responsibility to follow quarantine protocols and not expose your established animals to the new turtle(s).

11. I reserve the right to refuse a sale to anyone, for any reason, at my discretion. This includes someone I do not feel is ready to commit to daily turtle care.


Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thank you.
