does anyone know if there are albino or luecistic fly river turtles available in the states? I have seen pics of them and they look amazing!

Hatchlings are somewhat common in the wild and I have seen them in Asian markets in thge past.
While I know of a few captive specimens here in the U.S., they are quite rare here in the U.S. and command extremely high prices, starting at $5,000.00 U.S., compared to $25.00 U.S. which I saw them selling for in Asia.
The specimens I am aware of, here in the U.S., are in the hands of individuals who will probably not part with them and at least 20 years away from breeding age.
Also, since C. insculpta were granted CITES Appendix II status in January, the liklihood of large shipments of C. insculpta, containing leucistic and amelanistic individuals, being exported to the U.S. is highly unlikely...

Best regards,

Jeff
