I have two cb spotted's that I bought in 98. I am thinking about buying a mature trio to breed them. I have loved these little guys the entire time. It seems specific info on breeding these little guys is quite rare on the net(also looked for books specifically dedicated to the breeding and housing of spotteds and found nothing). Also I checked the forum archives only to find sparse info on a few things. I currently have the two I bought in a 75 gallon aquarium with about 8" of water and a basking area. Im changing them over to a 55 so I can "redecorate" the 75 with a land section. I live in south eastern PA and I was also curious about hibernating them. Is hibernating the necessary for breeding? Im not so sure the ones I currently have a mature yet, but they will be soon (next couple years). I would love if I could get some very detailed information about breeding these turtles in the form of a reply post, links, email, or whatever.



One last thing...Are bog turtles currently being captive bred. I understand they are thought to be highly endangered. Ive hiked through hundreds of acres of swap and bog when I lived in NY and have never seen any. I used to work for a conservation/science station for a college. I am really interested in getting a couple of bog turtles for breeding if they can be purchased cb.



Thanks for any/all info. Been a registered poster for less than a day, but I have been reading the forum archives for about a week. Lots of great info/people here. Laters. Steve.
