Golden Python (Albino Burmese Python)
The golden 'patternless' morph of the Burmese python - a revered, wholly captive-bred albino that cannot survive in the wild. A giant, gentle snake; private keeping needs a permit in China.
Florida Snapping Turtle
The most heavily-spined of the four Chelydra subspecies - a fierce, heat-loving carnivore from Florida and Georgia. Adults are aggressive; a meat or farm turtle more than a pet.
Radiated Tortoise
One of the most beautiful star-patterned tortoises - a Madagascan CITES I species that is common in captivity yet wild-endangered. 'The rich man's sulcata'; hardy if set up right.
Large-headed Turtle
A Chinese-endemic 'big-head' turtle that looks like a Reeves' but with a huge triangular head it cannot retract - a threatened, somewhat delicate water turtle.
Eastern Box Turtle (Carolina Box Turtle)
The familiar Carolina box turtle of eastern North America - high-domed, fireworks-patterned, and a classic (if pricey) beginner-terrestrial box turtle. Loves soaking but cannot swim.
Eastern Painted Turtle
One of four painted-turtle subspecies - smaller, plainer and a bit harder to keep than the western form, but a classic, hardy North American pet with a red-edged shell.
Map Turtle
A variable, attractive North American water turtle with a raised midline keel and fine 'map' line-markings. Sensitive to poor water quality - keep the tank clean. The common pet forms are the Mississippi and false map turtles.
Hawksbill Sea Turtle
A beautiful but fierce sea turtle hunted for its 'tortoiseshell' shell for centuries - now critically endangered and rare in Chinese waters. Profile is educational only; not a pet.
White-lipped Mud Turtle
A strikingly pretty mud-turtle relative - the 'mango-head' morph can flush yellow onto limbs and shell. Friendly and mid-priced, but it cannot brumate and must be kept heated year-round.
Common Snapping Turtle
The familiar 'small croc' - the most common and cheapest of the four Chelydra subspecies, hardy and pugnacious; a meat/farm turtle more than a pet.
