Great post man!

I keep a pair of Painted/Ornate woodies(Manni) and breeding them. So far one hatchling who's about 4 week old now. They are tricky to hatch, cause I've been trying for 3 years and finally got it right.
Hopefully I'll be able to offer experienced keepers a few babies.
True my pair are WC but they'll help create some CB's and hopefully keep a few in the wild.


Ornates are a wonderful species, to give them what they need you gotta have a large enclosure, deep substrate, water tub deep enough to cover their shells and they have omnivorous diets which makes you feel like your their personal chef! Maintenance is a pain with the water tub cause there's no great filter to keep it nice.

Buy Captive Bred, no wild turtles!
