I think you living in Florida has a little bit to do with it.
>>I have grown a cb male up that has been breeding for two years and should have some this year if the moon and stares are lined up just right!!! As far as anyone else I'm not sure as Adults from the wild were plentyful for decades up until just a few years ago. I dont see them being any more diffacult, they are really the same animal only smaller (gen.spea) with the same breeding and nesting methods.( They can lay huge clutches like phayrei despite Das,and others publications. I've had one lay 60 eggs. "One" of the breeding clues at the magic moment of ovulation/sperm retention utillazation is a short dry season after a long wet season. Their should be some CB M.e.emys out their that have reached breeding weight (not years old). We shall see later this year. Mine dont nest until late Aug/Sept meaning Oct/Nov hatch.
