any1 selling star tortoise??below rm150....

let us just pretend to be sellers and sell out these "prospective buyers with some collection at home" once we get their details. i'm sure that the wildlife department would be glad to catch some smallfries for scapegoating purposes at the moment

u all dont like to keep ST???Y??

Thank you for all the praise.

Azazel, so far, I have spent approx. RM1400 which excludes metal works as dad has yet to give me the bill.  RM1400 is only for the main components such as fiberglass tank, eheim 2217, hydor ario colour 2.

Cami, thanks.  Will research more before putting any live plants in the enclosure.

BenSow, am I allowed to disclose names here?  I found 2 traders.  For retail, only standard sizes.  Customised sizes allowed if big quantity.

in relation to other reptiles you've been doing so far, the answer is a definite NO.

reasons:
1) takes ages to sexually mature
2) takes more space
3) much more setup requirement (water/land area, basking light)
4) more overhead costs (electricity, water bills, high food intake)
5) niche market
6) some of those most profitable stuff (morphs aside) are things that can't be obtained or traded without legal whatnots.

if you ask nonono, of course his answer will be YES. but he's different. he feeds albino redfoot corns, puts albino sulcata under direct midday sun and answers questions like ah beng, but he can still make sales LOLLLL

LOL at the comment.

F: Just get them. Dont think too much. Sam is with you.

Turtle: You know where to market them aint. Should have big market there. Saw some photos and videos. Lots of them being offer for sale, and good price too.

Wow !!

How are they now ? SOLD ?

I prefer tortoise over turtle breeding/ venture due to water management ....etc

Sulcata ?? How hard is that sp ?

Now my 6 year old son is in-charge of his "sulcata big brother" (Male is 7+ yrs bought as hatchling) and his wife (bought as WC adult @15" June 2008 )
This pair lives at home !!
1st clutch somewhere December 2009 - 30/?? eggs (never found the nest only found 30 hatchlings when they hatch )
2nd clutch March 2010 - 18/21 eggs
3rd clutch September 2010 - ??/31 eggs 

I believe the Female is from a huge Sulcata shipment sometime back in April or May 2008 Paid RM 5xxx for her to pair up with my lone Male sulcata
