Yeah I've done setting up my wires above the enclosure. Missing 1 more patch of wire. Lol. Will be getting more wire to completely cover the enclosure. no birds can abduct them and they should not be able to climb out cause I'm using bricks to hold onto the wires.

May I make a suggestion , since you are going to "cage" them why not just get a cage for them (at night and when it rain a lot) and use that enclosed area for basking and roaming when weather permit !!

Do you mean these (attachments)? If so, of course. I just didn't manage to photograph them properly because they were so fuc.king "light" that both of my hands and strength were fully occupied LOL!
*
Ya WOW
But how "light" can they be ? Even that "foot" long Bola Bola in the top left hand corner cant be more than 10kg !!

From pictures and experience - I think over there they have a healthy-er colony when compared to ours OR was it only the healthy , even shelled specimen come for judging !! LOL

I nearly dropped at least 2 specimens by accident. They don't sit still, do they? LOL!

You guessed right. They brought only the healthy ones. The shitty ones were none to be seen smile.gif

Added on December 15, 2010, 3:00 pmI just have this crazy idea i.e. why don't you enter yours next year? If you win, you may bring back a brand new scooter (not that you need one but it's to show who's boss wink.gif)

Hello, I'm back again with questions.

My female star tortoise, lately, it doesn't eat much (well usually it eats greedily).

And we noticed its weird behaviour lately: it puts up its butt really high and we thought that it is having trouble shitting and we got shock to see it puts out something reddish then shrink it back on again. But it doesn't look like those the males have.

Can anybody explain what's going on?

And BTW, they are mature enough, but they seem like having no idea how to do 'business'... Should I provide some 'tortoise porns' for them just like what they did for the pandas?

My guess stone or prolapse !!

What do u mean stone? Well, Dad said it ever ate stone and having trouble shitting but luckily it shit the stone out lah...

And prolapse??? Oh damn. Any way can stop or cure it?
*
As for the stone I am not talking about ingested stone but rather bladder stone !!

Do a search on both first , determine which is the cause before we go into stopping and curing !!

Sam, absolutely lovely turtles u got there....may i ask what do you feed them and what type of enclosure did you make for them?

I use to feed mine with super worms (they love it) and put leavelitters for them...but they didnt last more than 2 years...would appreciate your advice.
Regards
*
They would prefer soft-bodied worm more , slug and snail , fruits beside some flower (I throw in some prawn and fresh ikan bilis ) The leave-litters are a good choice as they bury a lot to stay away from the direct sun and to keep damp too !!

I keep mine with baby Elongata , Forstenii , Footed , Emys , Star !!

Cheers

Thanks
Since they look so similar why one is call a box and the other a leaf turtle ??

- Pyxidea mouhotii Jagged Shell or Keeled Box Turtle
- Geoemyda spengleri Black-breasted Leaf Turtle

my opinion would be that because the genus Pyxidea is closely related, and even considered a detachment from the genus Cuora (boxies), so it is easier to lump them together in the common name section.

anyway, one of my lost euro contacts that breeds G. spengleri exclusively swears on pinkies.
owh... cum is the latin preposition which literally means with but in that particular sentence would serve to mean and also. (architect and also contractor)

Pinkies are good as well but my pinkies are reserves for some other reptiles , cant seems to produce enough !! LOL

Really loves their out of proportion large eyes !!

Yeah! Turtle thread! wink.gif

My mom had bought me a Red Eared Sliders (male) on December 9, 2010 @ Tamu Keningau. It costs RM17 each.

I'm now hunting for female RES since my Turtle (my mom named him BabyKu) is living alone in his mini aquarium and I know he wants a female partner to accompany him =P

Anyone knows where can I buy a female RES (the matured one!) because my place has no more female turtle to be sold (or probably they don't want to sell the females!). Peninsular Malaysia (KL and Selangor priority) also can lah...

How big is it ? How can you be so sure its a male - the seller told you so or you know how to tell them apart ?

Hi all,

Would like to get some advice here. I have a male ST (12cm long). Currently, I looking after my friend's smaller ST (unknown gender, 9cm long) too. When both put together, my ST will chase after the small ST. The small ST will run away and hide somewhere but my ST will look for it all over the house. My ST is just chasing and looking at the small ST, no biting. Could anyone please advice me why the weird behavior? Is it dangerous because I need to put them together in same cage during weekdays?

Thanks in advance for any advice. A very Happy New Year to all!!! May all our TTT stay healthy & active as always biggrin.gif

Now after they got your information(only God knows what they want them for ?) during the "grace period" thru your own declaration (how many got their special permit ? )they change the rule !!

How many who declared had the proper import permit ??

2)            The issuance of the Special Permission Letter will cease with immediate effect. The possession of species listed under Act 686 is legal with a copy of the import permit (Photostat copy) for those who are not the original importer. However, the original importer must retain the copy of the blue import permit marked “Applicant file copy”. 


So how about those that were issued before the stated period (I think a few in here got theirs ? Correct ? ) but without the import permit ?? Revoke the permit like what they did to Mr Wong ?


* presume immediate effect as in when they release/upload the above statement on 10 Dec 2010 !!
