Long time not here. Just to share some pictures of my monsters.

Nice , how big now ?

how to incubate star toitoise eggs?

Anyone with outdoor enclosures? Mind to share pics? Am taking note to improve my "paradise". Setting up a higher fence asap. What else?? Planting hibiscus and tomatoes already. The water after rain seems to get stuck in the enclosure. Any tips to solve this matter?

scrap the tomatoes - parts other than the fruits are toxic.

as for the rainwater problem, you either move the enclosure to higher ground or make the inside of the enclosure slope a few degrees and construct a drain at the lowest point.

if those are still not applicable, raise the enclosure by making a false bottom using layers upon layers of large gravels/drainage fabric/any free draining material.

and the keyword to all those solutions is flowpipe.

Hi Sam the yelow one is 15 inch, the normal one 12 inch

Thanks for sharing !!

Hey guys, I was thinking when suddenly it hit me...

Last time when I was so clue-less about caring turtles and it was the my first time having to own a turtle, the shopkeeper suggested me a small plastic tank as an enclosure for it...

Man, who knew? The next thing I cared it but without a proper one, and in a short time it passed on...I wished I wasn't so stupid that time, believing their words when instead I can google it.

The sad thing is that, right now, I still see many shops labelling all those little Red Ear Sliders as 'GREEN TURTLE'! What the HECK is that suppose to mean? Babies of the really BIG SEA GREEN TURTLE THAT LIVES IN THE OCEAN? It doesn't have FINS!
Worst, some still suggest to customers to have that stinkin' tiny small little plastic tank with coconut tree in it when they first buy their litle turts!

I was stupid that time, still following that stinkin' label, searching up for green turtle in google, but it didn't turned up what I need.
Luckily in time when I had my 3rd turtle (sadly the 2nd died too,RIP) I managed to spot a picture of a turtle resembling to mine, and it revealed to be a red ear slider...

Do you think this is a really BIG PROBLEM? People should really know what they're buying them as pets before they realise its too late to keep'em, same goes for dogs...

All turtle lovers, I hope you could suggest your opinions on this plight..Thanks!

Just a noob question, where can find an albino RES ? I cant find it in Sabah...

Tony the albino softshell. This one appeared on TV along with camille and uzairi. Lollool.


Freebie tank from Mat Hong. Thank you man, your biceps are awesome.

Pricey item like that always need to be specially ordered in unless CB locally !!

You think LenYu or Burong or some other guy will just buy and place on counter and hope that they get sold !!

But I have seen them in SABAH as pets !!

Okay... How much is them Actually?

I accidentally become a 2 little turtles owner, my housemate catches 2 turtles in my condo's fishpond.

Does turtle eats bread ? or biscuit ? Because my house really nothing to feed them.

Try above for current pricing !!

how's Tony doing so far?

he's half dead. electrical engineer chicks electrocute him every chance they got.

Nobody wanna reply on my question?

Oh well...
I don't think you should buy a albino, it's better if you take care of your own turtles or any turtle will do fine, just make sure you take good care of them. Just my opinion.

He's doing pretty good bros. Groing and really knows how to impress the ladies with his 'curious/unsure look'. All the bonitas melt over him. It kinda looks like this >

He makes the perfect mascot for my unit and is an awesome conversation piece. I have to say that I've used him for 'personal gains' a lot lately. Lolloooll.

damn you bro!
