Default Diamondback Terrapins wanted!

Hi there - would anyone happen to know any importers that are able to get these in?
I can't find anyone in the UK, and all the US specialists I've spoken to aren't able to export as they haven't got licences.

Thanks!

(I'm particularly interested in the concentrics and the Northerns)

I managed to track one down in Portsmouth - but i'm looking for a pair.
Does anyone know of any breeders or importers that may be able to get some in?

Why the hell would you want a pair? Are you working on a breeding program or something?

Thanks for the comments.

I've been speaking to some guys over in America and they have said that their cb diamondbacks thrive on a diet of commercial foods, supplemented with frozen fish. Have I been misinformed?
I'm looking into getting a pair as I would like 2 turtles eventually, and have been told that it's better to buy them when they are the same size, rather than buy one now, and then not be able to get another for fear of bullying etc. later down the line.

What would be a better species to go for than the diamondbacks if they are so hard to look after?
