I am currently waiting for my license to get approved so that i'll get permit to keep my radiata. Hope the perhilitan don't give me a hard time. Go legal, the tortoises will live happily for many years... It doesn't matter how much money you pay for the tortoises but how much fine you could ended up with when you get busted for keeping the endangered species. Just a piece of mind.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Bro, any update from your side?

You can buy those calcium powder for reptiles, just sprinkle on the top of the food. Or you can buy cuttlebone from pet shop

bro, how's ur setup for the cherry head?
i noticed mine started to pyramid already, i m not very sure whether is the diet or the humidity. I feed them mostly vege and fruits, once o twice a week with mazuri.

Now they started to show marbling already, that was the pic taken last year :-)

1 cm per mth = 12 cm per year or about 4.7+inch Per year is that too fast ? Even my sulcata or Aldabra I won't let them grow that fast  !!

Wonder how smooth are their carapace now with 4.7+inch per year !! If smooth ok lah if not watch out maybe diet or something else  incorrect somewhere down the line !! - just re-read n u mention pyramid already - pls modify diet or enclosure setup !!

Cheers sam

For the aldabra, the shell is still smooth, i will try to reduce its food intake, i read somewhere that they grow incredidly fast until ard 1 feet before the growth slow down

I duno y the cherryhead start to pyramid, i think the humidity is not enough, now i mist them everyday, but they grow slow

Leopard and ST are more prone to RNS so keep them warmer than say Sulcata (adapted to our climate ie CB and raised locally )

Assume both at 5 years of age - A male Sulcata at 15 inches easily crush a male ST at about 6 or 7 inch !! Beside an adult Sulcata is quite aggressive (some may be tame )

Usually I deworm mine once a year unless I see massive load in poo !! 

Cheers

Tortoise itself is a "sensitive issue " in our country , more some are protected international-ly.

EVEN if W.M. has breeders (which I know there are a few ) no-one in their right mind will allow visitation - I wont !! 
Cheers

How to deworm them?
the dosage n the medicine?

i have some de-worm powder but havent fed it to the tort, a bit worry
