hi hi i'm new here n accidentally found this site while searching for rare tortoise information.. just wonder that since they only issue license in july.. we need to wait till july only declare or we still need to declare b4 june?

ist need to declare?

Arigato gozaimaz

I would like to share some licensing information here.

As we all know we need to declare our pet (TTT) with wildlife before 27th June 2011 and once we declared, a temporary license will be given. After July 2011, the authority will call us up to take the permanent license once done and we pay them accordingly.

License fee still not confirm but is yearly renewal basis.

For those who stay in KL, you may declare at WildLife Cheras (Tel: 03-91710258 Add: 21, Jalan Dwi Tasik 1, Bandar Seri Permaisuri, Cheras).

I did ask one of the PIC in WildLife whether they will not approve the declaration and RAMPAS our pet. He said they will not do so. I hope what he said can be trusted

mine are indian star tortoise... i hav yet to declare, only clarify something wt them via phone..they checked n said indian star tortoise can declare.. will update more on coming fri bcoz i will directly go wildlife office for the declaration:)

Hi Guys, declared my Indian Star last Friday. I got a temporary license straight away after submitting the form without paying a single cent.
They will inform me to collect the permanent license once done via post. Of course during that time we need to pay for the licensing fee. Until today WildLife still not confirm on the fee yet.

p/s: If declare using condo/ Townhouse address, need to get approval letter from management.

Ehh.. is some simple writing on Wildlife letter head about what turtle i declare and the location i think but definitely not receipt because i din pay anything also:)

Added on May 20, 2011, 4:47 pmno need prepare anything, just get your tortoise scientific name and your house address will do. And again condo and townhouse need to get approval letter from management.

Anyone have any ideas how come my tortoise shell looks weird?
Is just like not fully grow on certain part of the shell.
Because of malnutrition or born like that?
Any cure?

1st image is on the right corner there and 2nd is at the bottom behind part. The pattern just not organise

Every morning i give them multivitamin powder together with their meal as for the UVA/B i dun give them but weekend i put them at balcony for natural sunlight.

Hey EuJax, ur name has been in V1 till now... really salute your support toward TTT... wonder what is your TTT collection from 2006 till now:)....
FYI, i'm now reading every single thread in TTT from V1 now in V2. Where are the rest like Uzairi, dai86, titansulcata, ekiddie and etc who very active in previous day?

Haha... if you noticed that is a fella post the cacat Star Tortoise Shell photo somewhere last week then that is my tortoise:)... just got them calcium powder, basking lamp set and UVB lamp set from ikano last weekend cost me RM170++ hee according to Sam advise hope it helps... but they seems like not enjoy basking just wonder why:D...

Hi All Sifus,

My new pair of 6" leopard tortoise just got them on saturday.


I have some concerns on them. Do not really sure on their sex even i follow online guidelines. Same goes to my Indian Star Tortoise. Below is the picture of their plastron.


One of the leopard has clear but waterly eyes and blink more frequent compare to the other one which has clear dry eyes. Is it normal? I did notice water/ mucus mark on the nose sometimes if really look properly. A bit worry whether is flu but he/she still very active and eat alot. Do I need to worry?


Anyone interested on following tortoise/ turtle can visit following pet shop:-
few tails of Soft Shell Turtle (88 Pet Smart Pandan Indah)
5-6 tails of 6" Russia Tortoise (88 Pet Smart Panda Indah)
1 tail of 10" Ally Snapper (OK Aquarium Salak Selatan)
1 tail of 10" Pig Nose Turtle (OK Aquarium Salak Selatan)
3 tails of 2" Pig Nose Turtle (YK Aquarium Salak Selatan, just next to OK Aquarium)
