Not really , as long as there's enough food and water deep enough for them to breed ( this sp mate in water ) they will give fertile eggs ( smaller n less if less ideal parameters provided )

Cheers

This sp even thou protected internationally ( they have a big home range ) are quite common locally

Certain if not most Tamu in Borneo have them for sale (if in season can be as cheap as RM 5 a pc )

No wonder , 2 ft tank only good for a RES that size at most 2 RES  !! And at 4 + to 5 inch male RES will show aggression ( sexually matured ) 

Cheers

what should i do with the malayan box? i transfer it to a different tank. will it survive without tail?

for the RES should i separate them?

thanks

If you after WC try your luck in open air market - Gaya street , the weekend market under Giant carpark( kolompong is it ? ) or that up-stairs bird/fish shop ( Lim's bird if I am not wrong ) next block to Wisma Merderka !!

Malayan Box not that rare in Sabah or should I say whole of Borneo !!
Cheers

okey will try the lim's bird as mention by Sam first. biggrin.gif if not gonna go gaya st. this weekend..smile.gif

So hows ur turtle now? any better? I guess its good to keep him away from the water now. as it easier to get infected. ><

btw if you love turtle try go the fish shop at hiltop.. they got this aligator turtle, long neck turtle, and pig nose turtle.. for display :
*
hiltop in sandakan?

i put my turtle in a container now, but it seem restless without water. i dunno what to do. feel really bad for it..
