is it similar to common snapping turtle??..

it's a very violence turtle rite?..

The common snapping turtle is a very violent aggresive and insane turtle....the AST is only violent when it eats.....other than that it is not as aggresive as the common snapping turtle....example..... if u put your hand in the aquarium..... at the back of the shell of the AST.....it wont attack your hand...... only it u put your have it its mouth it will snap at it......while the common snapping turtle....if u put your hand at the back of its shell...it will attack it....

omg..I prefer my Star tortoise...100% Herbivore..hahaha

guys, please refrain from doing sales in discussion threads. it is quite apparent that people tend to overlook the RnR of this section.

you could always open a sales thread at Pet Store section and have it linked to your siggy.

thank you.



yes i am proud. now i need a blue-eyed eastern European to broaden the gene pool in my progenies.



nutrient imbalance. equivalent to feeding a kid with chickadees exclusively. both specimens will end up having miserable lives.

Anybody here with RES feed their sliders meat? I occasionally feed them cooked chicken, just a small piece, 5 sen size, every 2 weeks to 3 weeks. Also vegs like carrots, etc. And their regular food is the pellets.

Or just feed them pellets?

I had RES before... and done some research on it..

RES is omnivore...

RES when they are baby tend to be carnivore...so, feeding them chicken and fish is OK..

when they get older, they will go for vegetables..

here's a good website to learn more about RES..

yeah, the previous owner told me that he's around 5 or 6 months of age...

aiks....RIP

how come the star become legal to rear?
when i was young,about 10years back.my friend told me that,it is illegal to have star tortoise.
beside that,it is very expensive to maintain the star tortoise...

heart broken in shock

two of my n my bfs turtles died yesterday out of the blue, they died right after his bday on sunday, we bought May last year on his bday itself, she was juz 1 yr old, Ai was bought last November on our first anniversary.
it really hits hard, they died together after a long period of not gaining weight and not growing... unexpected but we should have seen it coming...

i suspect they had intestine infection or salmonella bacteria...

what turtle is that? did u bring it to see a vet immediately once u notice they not eating?
