They are high on my wishlist too! I normally don't like turtles as pets as compared to other reptiles, but the mata mata is really tempting!

Yeah I'm just afraid it will get too big and also that it might snap at me constantly if I try and pick it up. But yeah I saw one on this site online selling them for $150 and that ain't bad.
That's a really good price ! And they do have a nasty bite, but I believe they calm down quickly with handling (I've seen a lot of really docile snappers thanks to handling!). The size is an issue though!
