You can find them on fauna posted every once in a while. There's some on there now. An adult female. Good luck there very expensive.

Think the lowest I ever saw a yearling was $3800? But yeah, adults on fauna now for I think around 7.5k…..They cost a pretty penny, for sure.

He also keep them a beautiful species.

In the US anyway, it is tough to figure out the locality of the trifasciata in the pet trade. If I'm going to spend the type of money that these demand on a turtle, it won't be these, for that simple reason.

If you are ever in FLA around August go to the NRBE in Daytona Beach. There were some for sale this year 2014 also, there was a male raffled off $25 per ticket this year. I tried to send my 10 and 9 year old to do it instead they come back with raffle tickets for a sulcata which they ended up with.
