WOW! it would be so much easier to keep them in a tank... instead the owner probably has to dump them out every couple days, and rebag them with fresh water.... I love it!! no need to wait to have them bag your fish when its already there on the wall! lol...... just an amazing selection too! very very very cool pictures, thanks so much for uploading!

sorry guys, but its really hard to shoot pictures when its busy and especially harder when its not. this shot is about 2 turtles, having a leaf like head shape, looking way cool!

the baddest HONDA ever built....meet the successor of the CRX...the CRZ.

a turtle had a leaf like head and looked bad ass! kinda like the mega turtle who fought godzilla.
sorry for the low level pictures.

not sure why these discus cost also $2000. the shop owner was a well known champion breeder though.

The turtle with a leaf like head is called a Mata Mata Turtle they are awesome but endangered. There are many captive breeders though.

I love the pics of the GTR and CRZ, man I miss being over there and see and the sweet cars.. I wish I could have brought my Skyline back.. . What kind if camera are you using, those are some killer pond shots..

Re: Flying to China - protocl's mini blog. UPDATED w/pictures! 8/30

I just googled and wikipedia-ed Mata Mata's. Their not even on any endangered list, nor are they even listed for vulnerability or concern of being endangered. I say find out if they are and get one!

I'm using a nikon d5000, nikor 70-300 lens with a tiffen polarizer that day.
Yeah, HK is one of the cities that has endless sweet rides. I've been seeing lots of different GTR's, all different custom styles.

I hope I can bring back something live. Man, ive been eyeing that alligator snapping turtle!!

Oh, I was told they were when I wanted to buy. This store in Evertt "Seattle Reptiles" had one for like $800 when I asked why thats what they said. Good to know that they aren't but still to pricey for me.

I own a classic '88 crx and had high hopes to see a new 2010 si.. but they only made this low power (122hp) car and incorporated the engine in so many components that a motor swap it not realistic. That one looks pretty cool with the body kit though.
