no no.. not now, i mean last time.. when our box turtles were
pretty okay and "common"
oh well.. the crappy pet shop near Beach Road has a crapload of
giant sliders for sale 
Oh
I guess they think local turtles are not as interesting as
foreign imports >.<"
Anyway I wouldn't say that all exotic pets are bad
Coz some responsible breeders do have their own program to breed
and release the endangered animal back into the wild (as in work
with the government) and they exchange breeding stock to
prevent in-breeding.
Like the Pacman Catfish. They are like extremely endangered but
hobbyist managed to breed them
Also for the Fly River Turtle, there are attempts to breed them
now
