It sure is
Carettochelys is the only freshwater turtle that has flippers.
I didn't buy these, but if you were to purchase on you would be lookin at around $500
The care is not to bad but you have to be able to maintain perfect water quality with the ph around 8.2 with around 86 degree water temps for the day and 82 at night. The clencher is the fact that they become very aggressive towards each other after around 6 months of age and as adults can reach weights of over 40 pounds. Definately not a good pet turtle but a worthwhile breeding project, maybe in 15 to 20 years I will have some babies

ditto. But they sound too hard to care for and 40 pounds is a lot.

Here are some better shots of the little flatfoots.
He finally decided that he had about enough with the pictures.
