Amazing! I've never known zoos to hatch them until now. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Big-Headed-Turtle-Prospect-Park-Zoo-Brooklyn-236026871.html

I took these back in 07' at San Diego Zoo. Huge Flapshell, Chitra and others..Enjoy:)

Heres a rare treat. Platysternons hatching (the only pictures around I think?). From several years back. Shared photo from Sue Teidemann. I had contacted her a while back for breeding advice, etc. Thought Gerard and Anthony would enjoy these too :)

Introducing..Platysternon Megacehairy!

Introducing "Popeye". Was hoping he'd be a female, but it was difficult to tell by the sellers pictures. He's huge with a 7 inch carapace length and a bit over weight and carapace wear. Still happy with him, very unique.

I recently got these back from a friend. Nice to have them back again after 4 years:) 1 adult female, 1 sub adult female, 1 adult male. Check out the size of the adult female and adult male together. The females get huge.

I think I live in Box turtle heaven...Find them going through my property every Spring:)

Rescued a nest of 12 eggs laid 5 ft from the freeway. All 12 hatched and doing well:)

Hi, I'm new to the boards here. The main species I work with are Platysternon Megacephalum. They are my favorite turtles. Anyone else here currently have any Platys? Thanks, Mark
