Thanks, but easier said than done,

I'll try, but thanks for the ID

A young hatchling long neck turtle will have orange or red and black spots on the plastron, and will emit an odour when handled....hope this helps with the ID.

Thats a Tortoise, not a turtle, as turtles have flippers, not feet. But yeah, its an Eastern long neck tortoise.

There are no tortoises in Australia. That is an old term given to our freshwater turtles by Australians many years ago to differentiate between marine and freshwater turtles. This bad terminology "tortoise" led to the death of many freshwater turtles that were tethered to clotheslines and kept in avairies with only a drinking bowl for water.

Just a question..........how did you plan on completing your NPWS fauna records if you didnt know the species you "bought"? Did the seller forget to tell you?

Damn olive you beat me to it.

I was giving the Turtle as it was no longer wanted or willing to be looked after, I rather see it have a home than released in to the wild !!! Do you not agree, and Yes I'm trying to find this info for my NPWS paper work..

\Thanks for your comments
