Hi all, just sharing a short video to show the progress of some of 2020's Manning River Turtle hatchies (captive bred by myself) that are now 6 weeks old. They're a little excitable whenever I walk into the room.

Enjoy.

The 6 little purvisi I sent to BWP have an important future ahead of them. I wish the team all the best!

The world needs more breeders like you.

The world needs more breeders like you.

Not according to the QLD and NSW governments.

You're boosting the population of a Turtle species that is heading down the road of extinction. Any government who want's you to destroy your efforts and let this species die is evil and corrupt. I don't care what they think is "right", you are doing your part to preserve this species and that's what matters. It sickens me that the government would even consider not allowing private breeders to help this critically endangered species. Like dragonlover1 said, Don't let the Boofocrats win! Cause that's what they are! Boofocrats!
