There dont seem to be alot of Turtle keepers here, so I have posted an open invite to folks on a popular turtle forum.
Hopefully some of them will come join us and pick up our little used turtles forum!

ill throw in a pic or two here for good measure! (vids of these guys in 'videos' forum)

Yes I've kept a couple of turtles over the years!

Regards,

Craig

For those who dont know, this modest bloke is almost an Australian Turtle king, right up there with Cann. Craig has been breeding for years,
there is not an australian turtle he dosent know about!

I bought my own turtles from him a few years ago as tiny hatchlings. (recent pics above)
They are considerably bigger today and bring us hours of pleasure everyday. They will see one more winter in doors and then be re-homed in a large pond outdoors.

We are very pleased to have a herper of Craigs calibre as a member of Reptile Planet and future Australian Turtle owners joining us will benefit greatly from his expert advice!
Craig has written an exemplerary caresheet for Australian Turtles, which goes into great depth and detail. We are currently working on adding Images and it will be found in our caresheet forum.

Thanks Craig

Yes but does he know about snakes? just joking, hey craig, do you have Hunter Rover short necks? Any pics? I have 4 myself (2 are being sold)

Hi Spike,

No I don't have any Hunter River turtles!
Do you have any pics of yours?

Sorry craig, no pics at the moment, My other comp died and its hardrive is being replaced. I will try to get some soon. I got my 4 from John Cann, and 2 are neigh bought my Mark Dorse in S/E QLD, Do you know much about him? He seems like a very strait person.

Hi Spike,

Yes I know Marc. He does a lot of quality reptile shows esp. for schools. He is also a very keen turtle keeper as well!

Since I moved to sunny Qld I haven't seen Johnny Candy for a while, although while my kids were in Sydney for a holiday they went and visited him at La Perouse. They tell me he still has quite a good sense of humour and made them laugh. I'm still waiting for one of his jovial comments re the Christmas card we sent him this year! I have attached the card for you to see. I know it's a little corny as the card has a Mary River turtle on it but it was supposed to be. We're trying to come up with a different Christmas card each year. Previously we did one with a couple of expansa on it.
