He looks really good.
Do hypo's always have problems, can they grow normally.
Any chance of a few pics of him now ?

That is very kool craig, does this guy live in you big ponds or does he have to stay indoors

 

[$N@K3$]

yay contgrats i might be getting a turtle for my birthday

 

[expansa1]

He lives indoors as he's actually only 5.5cm shell length. (When I said 6 cm before I just rounded it up). Sometimes we put him out in the 1000litre hatchling pond outdoors during summer but bring him back in for winter.

He eats heaps and is perfectly healthy.

I wouldn't exactly call it bad. I've always wanted a miniature turtle.
BTW, even some normal turtles have hormonal problems and don't grow very fast if at all. Hypo's don't always have growth problems and usually are normal except for their colour.

Yes I did and that would have definitely been a pic of Harley with one of his siblings.

very cool expansa, what other species do you keep?

 

[expansa1]

Macleay's, Saw-shell's, Broad-shells, Oblongs, Southern snapping turtles, Fitzroy River turtles, Eastern snake-necks, Krefft's, Worrell's turtles, Painted turtles, Irwin's turtles and Mary River turtles. We used to have 3 Pig-nosed turtles but sold them when we started having over $1200 a quarter electricity bills which was mainly from heating their water.
That's it for turtles.

I'm not. I'm building up my collection of these guys.

No I haven't bred from him. I agree, they'd make the perfect indoor turtle.

 

[Moreliaman]

WOW, thats fantastic, they look amazing.
Pity on the 2 headed though mate, im sure you were gutted

 

[hornet]

craig, are you breeding your irwins turtles? If so are you going to sell young yet or are you still breeding up stock?
