Hahah, that thing is like the sloth of the turtle world!
You can keep it with fish and they are alright? That is really cool.

Keeping them with fish is either hit or miss. This one was housed with a goldfish for the longest time, I figured this one would be a hit. I deliberately housed him with some small fast moving fish. So far so good!

Awesome little pignose!!!
Those and Mata-Matas are the only turtles/tortoises I'd consider keeping... Soooo awesome looking!

They're pretty rare here in the United States, and when you do find one, expect to pay a pretty penny. I was fortunate in that a mom and pop pet store in my area was going out of business and had this available. They actually had 2 of them. One went to Sea World, and I got the other one! Here's a couple of new pics!
