The " V " protrude is just on the outside right ? Just done more comparing ( quite a few animals - some mine some friends' ) Some of the Female do have protrute anal scutes just like Male !!

But if Male , the protrude will be thicker ( both inside and out ) beside the concave-ness of the male's plastron !!

Cheers

For now ( at most 1 year ) is OK except Galapagos or Aldabra who grow real fast !!

If possible get 3 ft and above tank to house your Sulcata !!


Cheers

Keep it simple but not missing the basic
Housing - Bedding , Hide , and Heat

Diet - High Calcium High Fiber GREEN or specialized pellets , supplement powder/liquid

Cheers

Mazuri - not easily/readily available to me so I do without ( Did try a few sack which i bring in from Taiwan or Singapore ) No real difference noticed on adults !!

Will pre-prepared pellets affect the fertility in the long run ? - noone can give you the answer , as for me I still prefer fresh food at most dried hay included !!

Grow fast as in how fast ? 3" or more a year or faster ? Curious !!


Cheers

Most if not all tortoise prefer fresh green !! Grow them lah - mix fresh ( alfafa and timothy ) with dry hay and gradually dont mix any fresh n feed just dry !!

Cheers

What kind is your turtle ?

Cheers

Just a few pots as just for mixing and not as staple for a whole herd !!

Sorry to hear about the loss !!

Antzz : ur pignose quite big 6-8 " ? Or more ??

Cheers

thanks for sharing !!

wow that's big at 12" but There's still more room for growth keep it up !!

Thanks for sharing - will post my piggy when I do water changer next week !! But I think mine will be darker as outdoor with exposure to sun light .

Cheers

I have a horde of them FRT lol some in a bige fiberglass tank 10'x3' x 4' depth the bigger guy/gals in cement tank with climb out sand pit as " play ground "

Thanks for your concern about the heat !!

Cheers

Lol even thou I have more turtle sp but my tortoise population is larger !! But no doubt I am a Die-hardcore chelonian fan big big fan !!

Cheers

I think I am over-rated !! But I sure bred quite a few both local and imported sp but still far from all sp I owned ( many sp due to lone specimen or still immature size ) some sp just all male or all female and can't source the opp sex for now !!

As for FRT should be soon as Ms chasing Fs for about a year now ( this sp I think F mature slower )


Cheers

Both sp of the snapper I have and are breeding from them - search back a few page of this thread I think pic should still be there !!

Cheers

For mine their staple are fish pellets , supplemented with fresh meat/seafood and fruits !!
Meat include pork , chicken , beef .......Etc
Seafood include shrimp , fish , clam , snail ..... etc
Fruits include apple , mangoes , banana , papaya .....etc

Insects throw in as snacks - crickets , superworm , dubia..... Etc

Cheers

wow what expensive diet !! But I think not " fresh" enough !! How complete it's still formulated feed/pellets - only that blood worm is natural . But fruits n insects do cloud water but good for breeders in the long run !!

Cheers

Your tank is nice , what other sp inside with that FRT and Bichirs ?
Cheers

[attachmentid=3090030]

Cheers
