Turtle breed

Found a pic on the site by a great guy at Hornsby that call his place Turtle town, any way I think this pic confirms our turtle is a Murray as he identifies his as a juvenile Murray short neck.

Looks like a Murray river short-neck turtle to me.

That's an impressive set-up that's on the 'Turtle-town' website. I'm envious of that set-up for turtles.

Even if you don't get to keep your turtle you may want to buy one through a pet-shop or a breeder, once you have a licence. The good thing about the licence is that you are able to keep a good variety of reptiles.

macquarii, not native to Sydney. Not well fed, quite thin, definately not a hatchling from this year.

I now understand a Macquarii is a Murray River Short Neck.
