I just got my 2.3 moenia petersi group in, finally. They're a from India and are very rare in the US. They have a high mortality rate from importation and usually never survive. These have been here for 5 months and seem to be doing great, good weight and awesome appetite. Hopefully I will get lucky, thanks for looking.

Awesome. The carapace is reminiscent of a chicken turtle.

They look like chicken turtle snail eater hybrids.

Thanks man, I'm waiting for my new cameras to get here so I can watch them all day. They really eat a lot of hyacinth, luckily I have a ton of it in all my enclosures. Hope all is good over there.

I was hoping this was an update on the albino Cuban tadpoles... really curious as to how many you get (or they get themselves) to the frog stage.

I'm not familiar with your petersi but that circle on each scute is very cool. Hope all turns out well with them.

I ended up with like 300 hets and I haven't lost one yet. They are all starting to get their back legs now, some more than others. I don't see why they will not all make it. I'm breeding crickets and fruit flys to head start the froglets until they get put in the outdoor auto feeding enclosure.
