Turtles

[grimbeny]

I was just wonderin do many people keep other turtles to the usual short and long necks?

 

[spottie]

i brought a turtle ages ago and was told it wa a snake neck turtle.
but too me it just looks like a long neck turtle

 

[grimbeny]

I think snake neck and long necks r the same, but i could be wrong.

 

[RustyShadow]

[blair]

i had a short neck but it passed on a week ago
i also have a long neck saving up for another shortneck

 

[kwaka_80]

yep i got a short neck turtle named tori...

 

[grimbeny]

Actually yea acording to "A complete guide to reptiles of autralia" there are two diffrent species
rugosa - northern long necked turtle
longicollis - snake-necked turtle
so maybe snake neck and long neck rnt quite the same.

I just have a few Murray River short necks, nothing too exciting.
Peter Johnson has a Mary River Turtle, they're special, they can breath through their bums :lol:

Do you need a licence for these turtles?
Cant get access the the national parks and wildlife survices website.
Dose anyone know what turtles you need a licence for?

Cheers
