hi David,Gladys is doing well and eating heaps.NZ turtle keeping is a bit strange with not alot around by overseas standards?We have a few different types in 1containment1 facilities(zoos,parks etc)but thats where they stay!In private hands they can fetch high prices and are often stolen,this has formed an underground type culture with people not telling anyone what they have etc for fear of theft.There are probably more out there than you would think but you never get to hear ,let alone see the collections.As an example there was an 8 yr old male 3 toed forsale recently with a reserve price of $5800.There are also a few herman`s and spurthighs(no sulcata)There is a 10yr spurthigh forsale at $6000 at the moment.I am breeding boxies and hermans but do not sell them as such but swap for other things or give to friends etc.Just good to get afew more out there.
