I recently purchased 4 babies while on a family visit in Veracruz, for roughly $75 for all 4. These are very interesting turtles, I wanted to know if anyone else in the US is working with them. And for your information, no I do not have these in American soil, I have a second house in Mexico, as far as the laws go in Mexico, I did not have any trouble bringing them up to Tamaulipas, anyhow I was giving much info from the Ranch on what they're fed... just "water plants" any suggestions? I will post photos soon, when I go back to Matamoros...
