So I am wanting a pair of turtles to add to my collection but i dont know what species im allowed on my RWL in QLD.
such as a pig nosed turtle or a painted turtle i can not find a list of species legal in QLD.
thank you in advance
Just a few quick words to introduce myself. My partner and I have been keeping herps for many years. Our many interest is turtles -- we have 11 species from 3 continents including an Australian Painted Turtle, Emydura subglobosa. We also have a several other reptiles, including a Bearded Dragon...
Wondering what most people name their pet reptiles?
Mine are:
4 C Beardies - Jasper, Diego, Cricket and PeterPan
2 E Beardies - Pepsi and Schweps
1 E Water Dragon - Mr. T.Rex
2 Bluetongues - Buffy and Leelo
What do you have and what did you call them?
I thought I'd share my very first youtube video Painted turtles Emydura subglobosa courting - YouTube . Sorry about the quality, it's my first time with the camera as well as having a small child trying to climb me at the end. Best with the sound off.
Hey guys,
Wife was interested in getting a turtle so i thought id do some research. I currently own a bearded dragon so know somewhat basics of lighting etc. However would like to ask few questions.
Species:
- I heard that short-necks are generally smaller than long necks. Is this so?
- What...
As we have been selling some our of tanks lately, we have had a few coming over to check them out. Out of three people who ended up buying, two had exotics - one had corns and the other openly admitted he had boas! wasn't too surprised with the corn snake, but boaS, not just one, but a few, so...
Finding heaps of these little fellas atm and similar numbers of long necks about a month ago. Pretty much one everytime i go for a jog (which is why i don't have more pictures, never take a camera jogging).
Does anyone know their breeding cycles and where they lay in relation to water bodies? I...
Hey guys just after some info on the different species we can keep. My girlfriend loves them so I was thinking of looking into their care requirements and eventually getting one. So could someone tell me which are the smallest species and also a rough idea on pricing? Any other info I can...

Did a trip to SDU over the weekend. Very pleasantly surprised to find that they were doing their venomous talks, I would have imagined the EPA would have at least suspended them.
Ian was back at work and as full of enthusiasm as ever, though he didn't do the show I witnessed (that was done by...
not sure which section this would best be suited in, but im wondering if anyone knows if there are any south american types of turtles available at all in australia?, or if im just on a wild goose chase?.

Hi, I've had two emydura subglobosa turtles for just over 1 year now, these turtles are going strong but have never had any sense of height perception, when I'm holding them they are normally trying to get out of my hand (which would result in a nasty fall), or when I have them sunning...
