hello friends, i never owned a turtle before but my girlfriend rescued a Malayan Box Turtle found at the middle of the road near Kota Damansara and we originally wanted to feed it and let it go the next day but started loving the dude instead.

we are planning to keep him, i also did some research and found the best website here http://www.turtlepuddle.org/cuora/amboinensis.html

so just wanna know whether anyone else here who has the Malayan Box Turtle, maybe i can learn few additional stuff?

officially, it's a CITES II animal, which means that special permit would be needed to keep them under INTESA.

unofficially, besides that caresheet, try reading other caresheets as well, especially entries on lighting, UVB, parasite treatment for wild caught turtles, captive stress etc.

thx a lot for the info.. i found out that its suffering from dehydration.. i stopped turning on the uv for 2 days and its now getting better.. less watery eyes..

can i keep star n sulcata together? why i ask since both of them require the similiar setup..

Why not but not for long as sulcata could out grow the star in less than a year !!

update:

pleco has been hiding under the tile all along and no conflict between the animals...

that what i needed to hear..

But do take note of a few things (I assume you are talking of Indian/SriLankan Star)

- Sulcata is a more aggressive sp take note of the Star if too stress seperate
- Star easier to get RNS

HI, may i know what is RNS??

thanks

R=runny
N=nose
S=syndrome

I already mix my star and sulcata almost 2 months.
So far so good....
All of them very kuat makan....
I almost pokai....

Hye, i have a question,how do i get my leopard to take hay?the previous owner just feed kacang panjang. i intro hay to it but it still prefer kacang panjang only >.<

1stly, give the previous owner a spanking

as for the question, try introducing new food (in this case, hay) to its diet bit by bit - e.g. 30% chopped hay mixed (important!) with 70% bean for first meal, 40% chopped hay, 60% bean for second meal, and so on in small increments.

as for its preference for bean, don't give it a damn.

Hey bros, any updates on the wildlife 28th June thingy? It's declare first but no guarantee of getting approval for a licence it seems.

No news so far & date approaching. Pls share any experience...thanks!

Is there a haul recently in KLIA or LCCT ?? Just read today in my local newspaper the said haul include
- a Yniphora
- a dozen or so Spider Tortoise
- a few hundred Radiated

Most important of all in that piece of news mention about the 28th June thingy
- They the wildlife department says its the 29th
- That certain mentioned tortoise sp ie Indian Star , Radiated , Angonoka will be confiscated upon declaration NO LICENSE will be issued !!

Any one can verify on whats allowed and whats not upon exposing ourself to the department ??

Haha, spanked dy! oraito, will give it a try..
thx

I can verify that State Directors, who are supposed to issue the special permission letter, do not have any clear directives from the Ministry of Natural Resources. So far, they do not know what to do upon receiving applications (format of the letter, etc)

As for the animals, they will be examined before any special permissions are issued (husbandry, conditions, etc). And strictly for private keepers, not traders. What's allowed and what's not allowed eludes me, except the fact that everything that falls under Act 76 and Act 317 won't be issued any letter as they are bound to the age old rules.

Sam, do you have the news clippings/links to said news? I saw the confiscation thingy yesterday but am not aware that Indian Star , Radiated , Angonoka will be confiscated upon declaration NO LICENSE will be issued !!. thanks.
