Hi, I have one. She is fairly old and has old burn damage to her shell. I'd love to find her a mate but they are to expensive right now. I got mine as a trade for 3 male 3-toed boxies about 5 years ago. Dawn

Matt Jablonski has a nice breeding group and he had some outstanding (I mean REALLY outstanding!)hatchlings at the Expo.

He had some of the most beautiful elongateds I've ever seen and they were flawless in addition to being CB and raised.
One word of note, if you picked up any of the foresteni that have come in recently, be very careful with them. I've heard that the recent imports should be very carefully quarantined (more so than usual)

Anything in particular??? Herpes virus? Just curious... I REALLY wanted to move on that 2.6 group offered a week or so ago, but 'sensibility' got the better of me. Sorry for any spelling mistakes... I'm beat!
