Re: has anyone got mata mata turtles

I don't know of anyone who has successfully bred these in captivity. Yes, they require a blackwater set up and feed almost exclusively on live fish. Adult size is approx 18inches, so you will need a very large enclosure. They are not an easy species to keep.

Do you keep them already? If not, buying a pair in the hope of breeding them is somewhat ambitious... but I wish you luck.
