Hi and welcome. As a side note, if you have a dog, plan on getting a dog, or allow people to bring dogs to your home, you'll want to read the post below my name. It was written by an experienced tort owner named Tom. Thanks.

Why Kelly, why are becoming getting rare. I saw one listed on craigslist months back and he called it a golden coin turtle. Is that the same as Chinese box turtle? He was asking 60 for it I think and someone bought it and relisted for 250 on kingsnake classifieds. It was beautiful. Wish I had been smarter and quicker.

I saw three of them at a store in Lodi, Ca a few months ago. I don't know if the guy still has them, but his wife said good luck in getting him to sell. I am not sure why this is, they were in a 20 gallon tank, with a pancake. Maybe to show off?The place is called GBU enterprice. They are beautiful! good luck.

Chinese box turtle (Cuora flavomarginata) or golden-headed turtle is not to be confused with the golden coin turtle (Cuora trifasciata) or Chinese three-striped box turtle. Here is an article on how rare/valuable and critically endangered in the wild the Cuora trifasciata is
