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. |

Re: has anyone got mata mata turtles
Could you send me more details? I and a number of friends and associates are already working with endangered turtle species, particularly those from Asia. I know your project would be of interest to them.
What species do you keep so far? |

Re: has anyone got mata mata turtles
breeding pairs of northern long neck turtle (macrochelodina rugosa),Fly river turtles/pig nosed (carettochelys insculpta), Worrell's turtle (emydura worrelli), Soft shell turtle's (Pelodiscus sinensis) and will have a trio of alligator snappers turtle's (Macrochelys temminckii) in the next 4 weeks. These are my breeding turtles at the moment but will hopefully have over 40 species in the next 6 months. I have got some contacts in asia where i will hopefully get more asia species soon. Once the turtle farm is up and running in the next 6 month i will forward you all the details about my company and what species we have in stock.
many thanks dan |

Re: has anyone got mata mata turtles
Have you successfully bred the species you've mentioned? (particularly the Fly river and the worrelli - which incidently, I wasn't aware there were any worrelli in the UK or Europe!)
Would love to see photos of the set-ups and particularly the hatchlings. I have some breeding groups, and may have surplus adults available. PM me for details. |
