i get a rare turtle that comes from india/pakistan (can someone help me with info)

[MarkusS]

I get a very rare pair of turtles from a breeder from poland who will bring me two in march when he visits my city. The species name is Geoclemys hamiltonii

They are very rare and listed as endangered species in germany under highest category. So its hard to get them and i´m happy i get a pair. But information is rare, so i would be hapy i could get info from people who live in same area as that turtle.

And maybe show me pictures of their natural habitat? My father plans to start a breeding project and i would be happy if i could get some info here.

Thank you!

Trading rare species that are VU and on Appendix I of CITES Isn't that illegal

No, it is not illegal in germany, when they are captive bred.

Unfortunately we south asian don't give flying fcuk what these species are doing in our surroundings and what are their habits. You will be luck if you find any useful info regarding this from any Desi member of PDF.
