yeah that really annoys me too thats why we are setting up a website which is full of care sheets for turtles and fish and a forum on it and when i finally get my licence we will be selling specialist turtle foods and hardware and i might be building specialist turtle tanks too ive got a few good ideas for them we will also be doing fish foods and other things to do with aquaria its in my sig if you want a look it is still under construction at the mo but but there is still stuff to look at

?

Your own site says:

they are much smaller with males reaching around 6-8" SCL and females reaching around 8-10" SCL

Trionyx ferox (Full Taxonomy) is the florida Softshell Turtle male 1ft and female 2ft at largest adult size


Trionyx sinensis The Chinese Soft Shell Turtle grows to a maximum length carapace of around10" to 14" and they are now Pelodiscus sinensis

yes but is that chinese i dont think ive got the florida on there yet

 

[mixmaster jay]

right im getting confused abit now which one did you have before liveyourlife chinese or florida softshell ?

 

[LiveYourLife]

Pretty sure it was the chinese softshell, as he was 12years old and only ever reached just over 10inches.

 

[mixmaster jay]

sorry i thought you had a florida for some reason lol but everything else is the same care apart from the size obviosly

Yep, postage seems to be arrangeable, though is naturally expensive for live turtles, estimated £15-£20 for TNT livestock delivery.

The baby softshells are £15.50 each, and there is a bigger one in (I think 8-10"~ in size) that's £30.

Call the shop at 0131 468 2585 between 10am and 6pm (5pm on a Sunday) to arrange something .

We cant reserve livestock hat long, but phone and ask if there's still any in at the time .
