Are you able to ship him to Arizona? I have a 50 gal that have some Cichlids in it (getting rid of most the fish) so ill have that set up for my adult RES.

Let me know and ill PM u my info and how to ship turtles..its not that hard.

If he's a "big boy", 50 gallons won't be enough. 50 gallons is only okay for a 5" turtle, and I would imagine he may be up around 9" if he's that old. He would need at least a 90 gallon to be happy at that point.

Also, shipping from NEW ZEALAND would probably be impossible, you would need to pay for the US customs fees as well as one crazy overnight bill (turtles must be shipped overnight to survive).

It's best that he stay in New Zealand ...

I just looked it up on FedEx and it would cost $450 in shipping alone!
