Due to our agreement with the Duch authorities, the following animals will be available for an ESF breeding loan:

Podocnemis unifilis

Platemys platycephala

Phrynops geoffroanus

Chelus fimbriatus

Chelonoidis denticulata

Pelomedusa subrufa

Macrochelys temminckii

Emydura subglobosa

Chelydra serpentina

Mauremys reevesii

Apalone spinifera

Centrochelys sulcata

Agrionemys horsfieldii

Emys orbicularis

Elseya novaeguinee

Messaclemmys gibba

For animals that are part of an active breeding programme (a studbook), the studbook keeper has priority in placing animals.
In case of more demand in animals than there are animals available, studbook keepers have priority over non-studbook keepers.
We will ask a small contribution per person, the animals will stay under the ownership of ESF.

It is adviced to investigate the animals for possible parasites or microplasma. Also a quarantaine period is advised.

For interest in these animals or for further questions, dont hesitate to contact us!

On behalf of the board,
Nick Cramer
