Anyone have any ideas how come my tortoise shell looks weird?
Is just like not fully grow on certain part of the shell.
Because of malnutrition or born like that?
Any cure?

1st image is on the right corner there and 2nd is at the bottom behind part. The pattern just not organise laugh.gif
*
There r 2 different animals ? Right

I think I saw the first animal ( it's picture) before - fused scute could be serious ( like curved spine in human)

Can be easy can be hard and Long to reversed or not at all !!

Seen and reversed a few before just need time , special diet and a few others !!

erk...you'd need to ask them about it cause I got no answer bro smile.gif
i'm sorry for your loss bro.

anyway, the habitats of M. impressa are hills and montane forests, where the nights make lowlanders shiver like nuts. the last time I went up I caught a bad fever with blocked nasal passages, so I had to endure breathing through the mouth, sore throat, headaches and shaking body for 3 days while failing to spot a single tortoise in-situ LMAO. so yeah, that's the reason so many keepers (except Sam) failed to acclimatize them, besides the fact that they stress easily, normally initially only accept specialized diet, etc etc

You referring to me ??

Early 2007 till now and counting !!

F1 are chasing each other so F2 may be on the way (Camil dont say I " dilute" the gene by mixing/interbreed different locale or siblings )
I keep mine in 4 seperate colony according to source Laos , Vietnam and Burma (collected in-situ )
The last group Peninsular (assume WC locally even thou could be Thai or anywhere )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Stress is the biggest killer , try get them as " fresh" as possible from the wild .
- Diet wise can be de-specialised afterwards once they get more use to captive life !!

Enjoy

Sorry for delayed reply I would suggest you just file it down a little each time 2 weeks apart till your desired length !!

They kept in wired cage or on pellets since small ? Try add a cement slab ( even a tile placed down side up also can ) as dinner plate to act as jaw n nail trimmer !! Nice size tort you got there , got it since small or ?

Cheers

from what i understand, Pig Nose Turtle aren't allowed to be exported out of Australia......hhhmm.....

They can't be exported out of PNG as well !! The bulk if not all are "legally" exported out from Hong Kong or Taiwan . Sound strange but true , why ha ? When neither of the country is their native home-range . Turtle laundering !!

i've been talking to some enforcement officers, and according to them, it is actually up to the State Directors to give recommendations on that matter (as by right, the power to grant special permission for RES is in the hands of the Director General) after the RESes are declared.
*
So it is still possible to keep RES ? Like if you know the right connection , rich enough .......etc !!

They ie the department almost always leave a " black hole" open for some to earn a quick buck !! And the guide -lines given are always almost as black or should I say grey !!

International export permits are almost impossible to get in the current system


Even if wanna buy also not quite possible .
Domestic sales only !! Even if can export I think the freight will be almost as expensive as the colony !!
