I am not sure you are right as for the St.-Petersburg Zoo - they do not breed them. They keep the turtles ut no breeding occures cuz conditions are bad for this task in the Zoo and for the reasons I've mentioned above.
Surely this trionix will be able to establish itself in the wild in the Central Europe and maybe that would be the only chance of survical for this turtle, becouse in Asia they devour all the wild-caught turtles they can get regardless of the highly endangered status this subspecies has.
Do you ever come to Russia?
