Received the Mata Mata pair as described. The females are large and healthy, with clear signs of maturity. The male is slightly smaller but still impressive. The scars on their undersides are visible but not concerning. Great condition for a wild-caught pair. Will definitely consider this for future reptile collection.
Donna North –
The turtles arrived in good health and match the photos. Size is larger than expected. The scars are minor and not affecting their movement. I’m happy with the purchase and the transparency about their origin.
