Fly River Turtle 6-7"

Product Description: Fly River Turtle (Carettochelys insculpta)

The Fly River Turtle, also known as the Pig-Nosed Turtle, is one of the most unique and visually striking freshwater turtles in the world. Native to Northern Australia and New Guinea, this species stands out immediately with its soft, leathery shell, flipper-like limbs, and distinctive pig-like snout.

Unlike traditional freshwater turtles, Fly River Turtles are highly aquatic and resemble sea turtles in both movement and behavior. They are powerful swimmers, incredibly active, and thrive in well-maintained, high-filtration aquatic systems.

These specimens are already in the United States and come with proper CITES documentation, ensuring they are legally and ethically sourced. This is a rare opportunity to own a highly sought-after species without the typical import uncertainty.
