Behind the Formula

The Breeder Behind Archelon

For over 30 years, Eric Akaba has bred and raised some of the rarest turtles in the United States. Archelon is the food he built for them — see and hear it in his own words.

Eric shows the golden coin turtle and vampire musk turtle he breeds — species with fewer than ten serious breeders in the country, raised across three generations.

Eric on the goal behind Archelon: a truly, naturally preserved super-premium turtle food — made without ethoxyquin, BHA, or BHT.
