Yeah, seems like it's seeking opposite sex. No fighting, no biting, can eat together. Just that the small one looks a bit scare of him i better keep them apart when i'm not around.

[attachmentid=1974262]
can see?but now getting worst.all over the mouth edi..

thanx

I have one friend working in KL, but his ST is back in Sarawak. He's asking whether he can apply for the Swak permit from here. Anyone has any thought about this?

i think u should stop feeding them long beans althought they like it a lot....
let your sulcata eat grass hibiscus leafs flower better...

i heard about the hibiscus leaf..try to search 4 it.but until now dunno where to buy..lol
any suggestion?

I don't think you can buy hibiscus leaf anywhere. Just seach for it in your neighbourhood, I think you'll be lucky.

a little friendly reminder for those who pick up hibiscus/opuntia/grass/etc from your neighborhood, roadside, etc - be aware of pesticides.

and plants that are planted by the roadside by municipal/city councils are usually watered with water coming from questionable sources - just smell it. plus, oh yeah, it is currently salmonellosis season in peninsular.

the best source for these food items is to plant your own. if you buy a new plant from a nursery, it is advised that you wait until a few weeks until all traces of pesticides/fungicides/etc are removed from the plants.

can someone list the price for all sort off tortises and where to can you obtain them in pj area?

For one Chelonian ie Tortoise are only available seasonally !!

Prices varies according to size of animals and time of year a.k.a. Supply and demand !!

Look special, captured locally?

Maybe

any shop in pj that sell sulcata and russian tortoise?

Pricing range I can help a bit but for particular shop that has stock I can't !!
Sulcata hatchlings to 3 inch - rm 250 to 1000 a pc
Russian 4-6 inch - rm 150 to 600 a pc

This back of the shelf look sharp, like leaf.
