Hand-Painted Detail

Ready to Display
A single, sturdy piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its pose, ready to collect and show off.
Chinese turtle keepers call it bai jin — ‘white gold’ — the rarest and most wanted color of the alligator snapping turtle: a golden shell over pink skin, the very opposite of the muddy giant you’d meet in a southern river. AHB made this limited PLUS edition together with 101dd, one of China’s best-known alligator snapper keepers, with the mouth thrown wide open to show off the tiny pink lure inside.
What ‘White Gold’ Means
In the Chinese hobby, WG describes a turtle that pairs a golden carapace with pink flesh and a pale plastron; outside China, similar animals are usually just called ‘pink.’
The Collaborator
101dd is a Shanghai keeper famous in China’s snapper community for his enormous alligator snappers. AHB’s card bills this piece as a 101 collaboration, sold in limited quantities.
Fishing With Its Tongue
An alligator snapper lies still with its jaws open and wiggles a pink, worm-shaped flap on its tongue — fish that come to investigate get a very fast surprise.
North America’s Giant
It is the largest freshwater turtle in North America. In 2014 scientists split off the Suwannee River population as its own species, Macrochelys suwanniensis.
