Anyone know if AceHardware sell anything sand-related? And is their sand aquarium safe if so cheaper than LFS? because I wanna buy sand to cover 6'x4' area..

What kind of wood can we use to be the fencing for an outdoor enclosure? My dog keep attacking my star. Or does anyone know where to get the green fence used for housing areas??

updatee~~

Female: 4.5in SCL

Male: 2-2.5in SCL dam i forgot to measure


C&C welcomed

anyone know how to sex the tortoise or turtle or terrapin?
i heard of people said watch their tail and etc, i was confuse.

max-orgasm : the best (most universally accurate) way is to measure the distance of cloacal opening (*******) from the body.

males (which usually have longer/thicker tails) have cloacal opening further from the body compared to females to accommodate the length of their penis and to ease penetration. (except ryokentaki, which only have 0.5")

other than that, there are other sexual dimorphism that aids the purpose of mating/laying - concave plastron and longer nails on front limbs to help males mount on female, longer nails on hind limbs to help females dig, etc.

and depending on species, dimorphism are also present in color (Callagur, etc), patterns (Sacalia sp, etc), adult sizes, etc.

camille will get very excited on stuffs like this

This question is directed to Camil:

"Is turtle breeding a profitable venture?"

I am sure Sam will answer "yes". But he is different. He can even profit from selling sh1ts (literally).

So, I want to hear your views on this.

And Sam, please be quiet aight

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

I received the same photos from Fred (all the way from Germany) and more when I wanted to buy some a few years ago. LOL!

LOL at the comment.

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

He is?! It's like saying "God is with you! Godspeed!" LOL!

Anyway, I was just wondering because a friend from Indonesia is breeding them like nobody's business...from sulcatas to even malayemys subtrijugas. One species after another! While over here, macam nak mampus sial nak breed. I think I need to drop by and have a look on how they do it la. Macam senang gila jer...

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.

True! But I am more concerned on how to breed them rather than how to market them. So far, I have seen quite a number of failures in Malaysia. I am not sure why but I think it's husbandry related. Or are they really that hard to keep and breed?

Another thing is that, is there such thing as an albino Callagur borneoensis in captivity?
