Very nice indeed. Did you breed this yourself?

Kinosternidae are such a fantastic group of Turtles that really are very well suited for Captive Husbandry, Their adult size and character gives them so much appeal.
From Coffee bean size hatchlings to very manageable adults the whole group of species are so good and deserve to be better known. Another species, this time from Central America is an absolute delight:
White Lipped Mud Turtle- (Kinosternon leucostomum):

Nice!

Is it a Kinosternon leucostomum leucostomum or a Kinosternon leucostomum postinguinale .

I think it's a Kinosternon leucostomum leucostomum... but i'm not sure.

She is Kinosternon leucostomum postinguinale. I currently have two adult females, and tragically lost the male a couple of years ago. However, I have only last week managed to track down a potential replacement, and am now in correspondence with another collection here in the UK with whom I hope to work.
These are another very nice species of Mud Turtle and their diminutive adult size makes them very appealling as a captive, sub tropical species

Yes, I love the Kinosternidae! I also have 2 Sternotherus carinatus. And i'm searching for a Sternotherus depressus (but that is quite hard to find). First i'm going for all Sternotherus species ... Then i would like to have a Kinosternon intergrum.
