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

Depends
- how severe the cut wound ( antiseptic cream/oiment ) apply to wound and best to keep wound dry for a few days - a box will do

- if still kept in water and water not best quality will cause infection ...,,. To wound ( cut tail )

Can show how badly bitten ?

Cheers

The butt-eye still there so keep wound clean and dress often to prevent infection !! And wound will heal , seal in no time !! But your RES sure aggressive ( male like I guess ? )

Cheers

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

Hill top ? Foo Keong ? The only shop I can think of .

Btw the lim's bird they keep it to the left side of the shop under some bird cage ( unless they don't sell anymore or shift place ) - be ready for dearer price than gaya st's as these are sold for release !!

Cheers
Cheers

Ya I know him ( tell him Tawau Arapaima guy send regards ) from few years back thru a fren ( keep tortoises only) !!

Theres another few crazy tortoise collector from KK that I know of , none into turtle !!


Cheers

Like I told you before tortoise easier to keep as no need to care for water !!
This thread starter loves and keep more turtles !!

Cheers

Like I say before I keep both but more tortoise than turtle !!

Cheers

No one will offer those for sale legally at your side !! Even illegally will be out of sight - to regulars only I think .

Cheers

Like I always say in this thread too many unknown how to help solve equation ?

Sorry to hear about your lost !! How long was it at the car porch - sunning or in the shade ? as when a reptile suddenly become active even for awhile might be due to high temperature !!

Cheers

Then my guess is right and 10mins is way too long for such a young turtle ( shell not 100% harden ) overheating is bad for turtle or tortoise or should I say all reptiles !!

Once heard a case of a guy using a 120w sunglo light for his baby sulcata ( saying his sulcata not active due to in an air-condition room ) yes it did activate his sulcata but after a few hours "batteries " went out and it died ( from over heating ) as enclosure too small ( 2 ft tank )

They like to chase glass shrimp , baby fishes or blood worm once in a while !!
