Amazing, one of the weirdest looking turtles but fascinating. How big is he, and how old?

These both look great!
Are they both the Orinoco phase of Mata mata?

I know almost nothing about turtles as my main thing is tortoises but those photos are really fascinating. Thanks for putting them up.

I have an Orinoco female, much the same age as yours. However, I have seen some recent imports, very nice Amazon young which are also very tempting.
