Natal Hinge-back Tortoise
The Natal Hinge-back Tortoise (Kinixys natalensis) is one of six hinge-back tortoises, a small, strikingly patterned herbivore found only in South Africa's Natal province. Scarce and specialized, it needs a dry semi-desert setup and a high-fiber, low-protein diet.
Chinese False-eyed Turtle
The Chinese False-eyed Turtle (Mauremys pallidiceps) is a turtle endemic to China that favors clear, slow-moving streams with sandy bottoms and is sometimes found in farmland. Shy and largely carnivorous in captivity, it remains uncommon and is best kept with attention to water quality and a varied diet.
Burman Big-headed Turtle
The Burmese Big-headed Turtle (Platysternon megacephalum) is a subspecies of the beaked turtle found mainly in Myanmar and Vietnam, an aggressive carnivore that adapts fairly well to captivity. It mates in autumn and lays eggs from early summer, but its fierce temperament demands careful handling.
Bolson Tortoise
The Bolson Tortoise (Gopherus flavomarginatus) is the largest of North America's four remaining tortoises, native to the Mapimi Basin of the Chihuahuan Desert in Mexico. Exceptionally long-lived but with very low wild survival, it is rarely traded and depends on burrow-dwelling for safety.
Phrynops williamsi
Phrynops williamsi, also called the Masked Toadhead Turtle, is a side-necked turtle from South America that loves basking and is semi-aquatic in the wild. Lively and relatively easy to keep, it remains uncommon in captivity and is found mainly as wild-caught individuals.
Barbour’s Map Turtle
Barbour's Map Turtle (Graptemys barbouri) is a strikingly marked map turtle from the river systems of the southeastern United States, resembling a painted turtle in form. Though widespread in the wild, it is uncommon in captivity, with the Mississippi map turtle being the most frequently kept of the group.
Mississippi Diamondback Terrapin
The Mississippi Diamondback Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin pileata) is a semi-aquatic turtle from the brackish coastal marshes of the southeastern United States. Demanding about water quality, temperature, and a touch of salt, it is uncommon in the pet trade and requires committed care.
Malayan Flat-shelled Turtle
The Malayan Flat-shelled Turtle (Notochely platynota) is a secretive, chiefly herbivorous freshwater turtle from Southeast Asia that prefers shallow, plant-rich waters. Wild-caught individuals are notoriously fragile, making it one of the most difficult turtles to keep successfully in captivity.
Varanus giganteus
The Perentie (Varanus giganteus) is Australia's largest lizard, inhabiting arid grasslands where it uses its powerful hind legs and tail to sprint over short distances and scan its surroundings. A voracious and alert predator, it makes a demanding but rewarding challenge for experienced keepers.
Burmese Eyed Turtle
The Burmese eyed turtle (Morenia ocellata) comes from southern Myanmar and occasionally appears in the Chinese pet market at reasonable prices with an appealing look. Weak at adapting to new environments, it is nevertheless easy to keep as a largely aquatic turtle.
