That's going to be a tough one. Here's some stuff you need to think about. You have an unusually healthy animal. I had one like that that was a female. I ended up giving it to someone who could give it better care and had other homeana. I tried to put together a breeding group but could not find any healthy animals because the imports are notorious for being in poor shape. What you want to look for is long term captives (1 year or better)(and not at a dealer). Get yourself listed on some of the adoption services (Turtle-homes is a good one) Occasionally they are available for adoption. That is your best bet. The key point though is to make sure you quarentine any new animals for a good length of time before you introduce them to your animal.
