K. integrum should be kept like most other Mexican mud turtles (except K. acutum) with moderately warm conditions for much of the year. A brief, dry winter cool down may not hurt them either. I would imagine that they would also appreciate a decent sized land area too.
Good luck finding them though. I haven't seen integrum for sale for decades as Mexico absolutely forbids their exportation. Of course, there may be a breeder out there somewhere....

Thanks a lot, but you have no idea how much they cost.

No, I have to say that I have no idea how much they would be. If the seller knows what they are, I would guess that they might be pretty expensive.
There was a pair of K. herrerai offered a few years ago for $450.00. They are another, never for sale Mexican species.
Do you have a line of some integrum?

In what ways does K.acutum husbandry differ? Curious...Best to you-Mike S
