Can Garden State Tortoise successfully breed one of the most notoriously difficult turtle species on planet earth? Time will tell. The fly river or pig nosed turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) is quite possibly the cutest turtle in the world but it is both highly aggressive and nearly impossible to breed. Already endangered, this freshwater turtle from Australia, Indonesia and Papa New Guinea has captivated the world for a long, long time. Popular in herpetoculture and a staple in countless zoo collections, the fly river continues to enamor us humans without fail. Yet, few have successfully reproduced the species. There are many reasons why but with a new addition to GST, we just might have a shot at it. Fingers crossed!

Ok friends! What should we name this new lovely lady?? 🐽🐢
Spoinky! Because of that pig-nose feature
Let's keep with The Little Mermaid theme and go "Ariel" or "Ursula."
Sunday
Skittle because Scuttle and Skittle sounds adorable.
Name her Lady 😊
She reminds me of the soft shell turtle that was a rescue in my college bio lab. Man, I loved that class, lots of snakes, alligators, fish, and frogs since the teacher was a herpetologist.
I would name her "Sapphire", she is a precious gem, after all, right?
Omg I second this!! ❤❤❤❤
Yeah. Make that 3 for Sapphire. That’s perfect!!
Always new turtles to learn about, can't imagine anyone not liking turtles they are the best. Great mini class Chris, really wishing you the best of luck with producing baby Fly River turtles. Thank you Chris and Maurice for taking us along.🐢🐢🐢
Glad you enjoyed it
in Indonesia, we call them monbi turtles (pig snouts), they are very rare in the wild, you could even say they are extinct in the wild but still exist in captivity
It breaks my heart anytime I hear any animal or reptile is endangered. 😢
They need to educate Asian people to stop eating every damn reptile they find. Perhaps then many of their native species wouldn’t be endangered. 🤬
Caretta, a nod to her single species status in her genus.
I love "Flipper", not sure if you already have one though! "Flounder" would be cute, too!
Really looking forward to your breeding plan. Have avoided getting one until more is known about husbandry and breeding. You need a 20 x 60 greenhouse with a 6 foot deep aquascape "lazy river" with slow water pools and decked out with New Guinea/Australian plant life. Think of all the species you could keep in the planted areas! Time for a fundraiser.
What a fantastic video! The more I watch your channel, the more I understand how much work and time goes into their care. You have to really love turtles and be dedicated to their well being in order to keep them successfully. Any turtle is fortunate to call your place home!🐢❤️🐢
You are so kind Lori
Her shell and her skin are beautiful, almost pearlescent. Her plastron is flawless
A name like Pearl would be lovely. ❤
Opal would be a close second. For something a little less romantic and a bit more fun, how about Miss Piggy? 😂
Thank you so much for introducing us to these amazing creatures!❤
Geez, who knew there were so many beautiful turtle species?!? Well, I guess Chris and Casey did, but I certainly didn't. That little Pearl River Map turtle is just gorgeous! The little Japanese wood turtle and the golden coin turtle are seriously cute, too. The Burmese narrow-headed giant softshell turtle looks like a handful, but she certainly seems like a healthy girl. Loved this video and I hope Ruby's future is bright and that those two Fly River turtles like what they see when they're introduced.
I saw this species living in a big tank of a surf themed cafe in Moscow, always was concerned for the fella but years later it looked lively :’)
Such cute species!
A beautiful animal all conditions considered, incredible how resilient the metabolism and growth rates are compared to say snapping turtles, but I suppose an more omnivorous natural diet helps.
Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with all of us turtle fans out here. Im voting for Scooter as a name for the new lady😊
Love your turtles and Marurice!!! yay GST. Love the fly rivers. Praying for future babies.
I believe Kennan has a Batager turtle and know he has Fly River turtles. He keeps his in the same pond, but it's quite large. Maybe they are the same sex and do not fight? What a fun video! Thanks for including us!
Thanks! Yes kenan has fly rivers but the Batagur he has are a different species than Maurice’s.
I like the name "Puddles.". Excellent video
that tank bubbling sounds like a bunch of cauldrons brewing lol
Double, double…
Just wondering, do you plan on adding some floating plants to their enclosures? I like that aspect of Maurice's enclosures
That's the plan!
Maurice has lots of natural light which is required to keep the Water Hyacinths going through long northern winters. Perhaps Amazon Frog-bit or a lower-light floating plant or even artificial lily-pads (just to provide some shelter & privacy.)
Is it me Ruby has a natural smile? 😍
Tilly would be a lovely name. Always so cool watching your videos and learning
Fly rivers are so amazing! Congratulations on the beautiful new female!!!
Very cool. I’m amazed with how much technical information you know and share in such a way we really do come to understand without it all sounding blah blah. You’re amazing!
As for the new little girlie addition to the turtle clan, I think, ‘Little Miss Piggy’
Glad you enjoyed it!
She is so beautiful! I love the name Priya (pronounced preea) I just love what you are doing Chris! A big thank you to Maurice too!
Aww Scuttle has a pretty lady. She's so calm and flawless
Flutter I just think it’s cute…. Scuttle and Flutter 😂😊
Since she’s a pig-nosed, why not “Babe”?
She’s so adorable!
Miss Piggy 😊
Woot! A new GST Video!
PINKIE. She's very beautiful and I love her eyes!
I think she's just precious. I would name her Precious.
Omg I love them!! They are beautiful. ❤
I’m all for this! Love my fly river!
I LOVE those tubs! They are really incredible. Are they custom or available for sale somewhere?
Reach out to Maurice: Maurice@aquaworksllc.com
How about "Serene" ... She looks so calm compared to Scuttle 😁
What a cutie! I think Daffodil would fit her, since daffodil flowers have a long bit in the middle, like a fly river turtle's long snout!
Awesome video!!! I don't have any turtles myself, but I enjoy learning about yours.
Thanks for watching!
Bubbles so cute love your channel karen
as every sunday, i am here the first fan again
Nessie like the Loch Ness monster 😀
Someone posted Pearl. That’s cute.
How about Sunday? A lovly name for a lovly fly river turtle.
I need to know more about those tubs lol. Are they for people or reptiles? I kinda want to sit in one..... ;)
Pretty turtle, she looks like Roxie ❤️
What an amazing video again. Great husbandry and adequate setup. Keep up the great work. ♥️ 🐢 🦎
Thank you! Will do!
Mine in in a 75 its a baby I have 2 big fluvals and a sponge for filtration, plus its 84 degrees. One sponge doesn't seem enough
Lola... Lovely Lola
Esmerelda, feminine of emerald like ruby a precious one...
She is so beautiful. Very unique. She looks like a Matilda. We think you should name her Matilda.
We love watching your show. We have six tortoises. Including two Aldabras and two Galopagos. They are family.
Chris, I hope you are able to produce FRT’s! Who manufactures those large square tubs? Are they designed for aquaculture? Thanks!
Thanks Tom! Reach out to Maurice: Maurice@aquaworksllc.com
Snoodles! Shes so darn adorable!!!!!!
Snow white, rosey
My vote is Pearl. Lovely Lady Pearl. Indeed!
OK GST. Perfect name. WILBER
I'm thinking she looks like Penelope, Penny for short she has such a cute snout. Petunia also because her nose reminds me of piggy. I think that was the name of a cartoon pig. I Throughly enjoy watching the videos from GST.
What a great turtle! Turbo is my choice of a name
The Fly River turtle has the most adorable piggy face. She’s quite the gorgeous girl…if she were mine, I would name her Ms. Fly (she’s clearly the fashionista of turtledom). Hoping she and the male will fall in lust…um, love…(no fighting!) and there will be lots of cute little smiley babies hatching.
I wonder what effect having a clear plexi or real glass window/barrier between the two tubs would have? That would allow the Fly Rivers to see and get accustomed to each other before actually introducing them. It would take some modification but the clear panel might be removed entirely during their coupling then swapped-out with a solid panel again out of breeding season. That and/or placing their enclosure(s) outdoors in an area exposed to natural sunlight part of the day during the summer months, it’s often just a matter of experimenting & getting the conditions just right (lower vs higher water levels, proper PH, etc) to initiate successful breeding. I’ve bred some tiny, extremely rare Australian Finches in the past -birds thought nearly impossible to breed in captivity by doing some research and trying various things that I thought made sense. Once I understood their cycle they bred for me non-stop. It’s not dissimilar breeding other animals in captivity. Trial & error and perseverance usually pay off.
I vote Ducky, because she reminds me a little of a duck-billed platypus (my favorite animal) and for love of "A Land Before Time" an AWESOME movie ❤
Thank you for the work you do. Curious as to what the large tanks are called that you picked up in your U-haul; would greatly appreciate the information. Thank you kindly.
Mistletoe nice Christmas name
Poseidon would be an awesome name for this freshwater aquatic species.
Linda?
But does Maurice have a personal website or youtube site so we can learn more?
She’s so lovely! Maybe Saoirse, for her name? The spelling is a little tricky because of its Irish origins, but I think it could be a nice fit!
When I look at these River turtles, the body plan reminds me of a sea turtle rather than a pond turtle.
HOLLYWOOD, because he is already a megastar!!
I think Penelope would be a cute name. 🥰
The batagur have the coolest head shape
I would name her Flygirl, cause she's got the moves. I love how their feet look like bat wings.
Emmy short for emerald as she is a gem.
Petunia would be a great name!
Shaw
🥰😍🥰😍💕
She is so pretty
Thiri.....its Burmese meaning splendor!❤❤😇❤️🐢
Pippie for that cute nose
SNORTUS or SNERTLE as a name ❤️
Ariel or another character like Flounder, Melody(her daughter), or one of her sisters Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista and Andrina🤷🏼♀️
Kelly of course 😁 because it's part of scientific name
Gracey 😍🐢
How about Scuba - it sounds like it goes along with Scuttle. 😊
Scuttle and Cuddle.
I didn’t get notified that you posted, so I re-did the notification thingy, and hit it twice. Such beautiful new babies, and new arrivals!! I’m excited to find out how she does with the breeding. Lol, if anyone can help her, it’s you guys. She sure is a beauty, and with that rudder type device on her legs to get away quickly, is a miracle of nature, and reminds me of the part on an airplane, that makes the plane fly right😀.
How about Precious, giving their life as well as reproductive ways are so precious. Tfs ❤😊
porco rosso 😂 from the studio Ghibli film
D-Light, Vivian, Gladys, Cecelia, Missi, Marina, Zuzu
Ajuma. It means priceless.
Shelby 😊
That turtle looks like a Bob Billby
Can the eggs crack internally, appearing as "Live Birth" even though it isn't?
I think Pricilla is a nice name 🩷
The first name that came to mind for me was "Esther".
In Australia they call the ladies "Sheila" so that would be an appropriate name!
That name is raken by predatory fins female Fly river Shelia is twice the size as this one
Call him Slim Jim. He has that long slim neck
Mistletoe I put name in when video first came out
What do y'all think about LADY for her name? Thank you both for yet another amazing video. Ya'll are the BEST!!!!
Question, how do you have the fine sand in the water and not clog up the filtration system?
Lovely❤❤❤
Amazing and interesting turtle! Her name should be Porcine!
Tina!!!
Name her Goldblum. After the movie The Fly😁
