hi guys,

checked the CITES list, seemed that musk and mud turtles are not included, so these can be kept without permits right?
I mean just like the RES.
is this correct? anyone can confirm?
Thanks in advance.

btw samperth, if we have a permit for the torts, technically the CB babies cannot be sold by the pet owner to a direct buyer, is this the law right now?

Ya , keeper permit not same as dealer permit and to breed for sale one need a breeder permit !!

Cheers

Ok, thanks. The limitation kinda sucks eh.

Anyone, regarding the musk and mud, any feedback guys?

hai pplz want to ask about some turtles

ive seen before baby softshell turtles when they just got them (not 100% healthy when bought) after awhile the turtles skin get this kind of plaque white stuff on the skin and their turtles soon die after
why this happen? any way to prevent it?
oso for hardshell turtles is there any kind of treatment for their shells if they get sick?



oh yah also want to ask how to get permit for special turtles liek gator snapper or something :D

k thnkx

Those white stuff - kind of fungus usually from cold water , In hatchlings usually v high or 100% mortality !!

As for other sickness pls be specific but usually there's cure/treatment !!

oh so cold water effects hatchlings, i see. but older softshells are okay with the cold water? cos the rivers they live in are pretty cold but i guess thats why they bath in the sun n stuff

as for hardshells, im talking about maybe some colour disfiguration on the shells
or liek some red tinting on the shell like i found on a black marsh turtle i found somewhere along the highway
any general cure for teh shells?

U mention the small soft-shell not 100% healthy did u not ?

That's just staint and not sickness ( if not sickness where's the cure ? ) - find the cause then find the solution !!

Cheers

hi guy,

i would like to ask all the sifu here.
i has read a particular web-site the compact light bulb come with uvb+uva is harmfull to tortoise eys ?, it this true ?


Here the link
http://thereptilewhisperer.blogspot.com/20...o-reptiles.html

I think it depends on the setup..
have been using them for quite long so far no issue wit my tur and tor..

Would there be any guide-line on setuping the light ?
Would it be fine if i put 90 degree horizontal with the height of 18 inch, and using Repti Glo 5.0 Compact ?

I have seen the guide before, it stated the distance and temperature, can't remember where I saw it.
You can try to look for it..
But 18inch sounds fine for me..jut my view..

The sun is xxxxxx km away from us and if you look up without protection will it blind our eyes ? Let alone our tortoise's !!

All uv ray will be harmful just look at the good side ( the vitamin D your pet can get / produce from it ) !! So use a big enough enclosure when using heat lamp or uv lighting so it can run away if too hot or for the uv case - get out of sight of the uv ray !!

Cheers

U could also put vase/pvc pipe so they can hide..

Just my rm0.02..

HI, would like to ask if you guys give your star tortises any type of extra calcium supplements?

Depends on whether you are putting your ST indoor or outdoor. Normally indoor tortoise is given Calcium+D3. For outdoor, Calcium only. But if their meal is high in calcium already, then you can skip that.

Anyone know where i can find pnt for sale?im looking high and low for it
