The coolest turtle in Africa, Cycloderma aubryi, just arrived and I'm beyond stoked, again. I love this species and can't wait to see it all fixed up and comfortable.

Welcome to Tortoise Forum! I love seeing members from all regions of the world! But wow. Beautiful turtle! I've never seen this one before, are these related to Mata Mata's? Incredible red pigment.

Oh my. I had never seen one. It is cool. Surreal cool because it just looks so prehistoric to me. And the color, red, is wow. Love. Congrats! : )

Congrats on you new turtle from the Congo. What a special treat! This guy is so unique; I already love him! How long did it take to get to you? How was he packaged?

Yeah I found some, and after I came too I debated on which arm and leg but the first born is what I couldn't part with!

Definitely not worth the first born, but a turtle like no other, and worth the extra effort. My third one is coming soon, I'll post more pics of the group, later.
