Iac won't let me put them all together so we can make "Designer Breeds". Like,

African Rednecks (oxymoron, I know) = RES + ASN

or

Clown Turtles = DBT + RES ....White face with Red Ears

LMAO! They are very pretty turtles even if they lack the comedic value of the possible hybrids!

Beautiful gang you have there. Einstein's shell is nice and dark. The young DBT is a real beauty...I run into them once in a while on the river banks around here, but they mostly hide out in the salt marshes, very shy.....

Hey, that's a good sign that you can still see them in the wild. :)

The "issue" with that turtle is that we'll have to jump through hoops to get one of those from somewhere. We're not counting on being able to get one from a turtle breeder anywhere in the country. So between all the permits and fees, it'll be way more than just the price for the turtle.
