Your so-call Taiwanese Turtle are they like what I have posted ? If so they are Ocadia sinensis .

Do they care ? Its still our fault if they come knocking our doors !!

Thats a sulcata Tortoise -Geochelone sulcata

They can sell from anywhere between RM 300 to RM 1000 or more for larger specimen !!

As for if available in Mid-valley depends as these are seasonal imports (almost 90% or more are ranched or bred in Africa or elsewhere ) I would say 10% or less are bred locally !!
Cheers

Added on July 5, 2011, 5:47 amThey do grow fast and huge , do think carefully before you go seek and buy one !!

As for tank as big as you can provide with a dry bedding ie paper/wood pellets , hay , newspaper ...etc

Food - grass , hay or any high fiber greens !!

GOOGLE and do some read up !! If in doubt then ask here !!

Price and cuteness not the only consideration !! As soon as 5 years they can be larger than a foot long and not many tank can hold them then !!

So do think trice before getting one or more !!

When they get that big only cattle , adult size tortoise can eat them !!

If you prepare to dice it up sure can last for a few days !!

But I only feed the tender one to my animals !!

I plant the " thornless " type n the few hair-fine thorn I don't bother to de-thorn before feeding !

Use sparingly I think OK !! But I don use .

So far so good no incident ! Or you can burn off the " hair" before feeding !! O u guys can feed the fruit as well taste like dragon fruit .

Sprout only good as snack , try grow the alfafa n clove up till bloom to get more fiber into them ? If can't finish dry them to make hay .

Cheers

Alfafa hay are known for their Calcium and fiber !! Sprout if as snack I dont see any problem !!

Maybe those store bought sprout have additive (to prolong shelf-life ?? )

Rm 300 a pc ?? Soo Soo expensive , highest I paid many many years ago also only rm 150 cheapest only rm 50 a pc now all big big size !!

Just wanted to remind you that this pignosed turtle also known as FRT( Fly River Turtle) are CITES listed, thus one will need special license to keep under our newly amended wildlife law !!

Cheers

Found in Malaysia , Stay in Malaysia , Breed in Malaysia , Proven out in Malaysia !!
