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.

For two days in August 2024, AHB took orders for this alligator snapping turtle as an online special tied to Shanghai’s Guigu (‘Turtle Valley’) turtle expo — then closed the book for good. Unlike AHB’s usual crouching snappers, this one rears up on its front legs, hooked beak thrown open to the sky, in deep olive and moss tones with a yellow-green head.

A Two-Day Window

The order window ran only on August 10–11, 2024, and AHB announced it as ‘never to be reissued’ — once the window closed, the run was set for good.

The Expo

Guigu World is a famous-turtle show held in Shanghai each August; the 2024 edition ran August 10–12 at the Shanghai Agricultural Exhibition Hall as part of a national reptile-hobby festival.

Built Like a Dinosaur

A hooked beak, three ridged rows down the shell and a long armored tail give the alligator snapper its prehistoric look — it is the largest freshwater turtle in North America.

The Patient Hunter

It waits motionless on the riverbed with its mouth open, wiggling a pink, worm-shaped lure on its tongue to bring fish right to its jaws.

“Two days to order. Never again.”
