RE: Im starting to become unhinged over hingebacks like jaqui!

Well I had a bunch of hingebacks about 6 years ago, I just had to redo my greenhouse so I sold them. This puts me back up 6, I love hingebacks, they are a very amusing species, very weird and plastid. I will definitely post some pics when the other 4 get in tomorrow. I usually stear from the common dealers that sell all the recent imports, but these are coming from a good friend who had them a while, and they are just perfect HUGE specimens of the species. As well as the difficulty that Africa is placing on ecport of any turtle or tortoise is A great thing, but hampers on the availability of organizations like mine that focus on captivating, and conservation. Im stoked, I missed all my hingebacks back in the day.
