QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Jun 7 2012, 08:09 AM) If for visual just normal lighting from aquarium or lighting store will be good enough !! Thanks sam. Btw are you from sabah? do you happened to know any good pet shop? most of those I went got not much selection on turtles n accessories.If for well-being add - a heat lamp for heating up for ease of digestion ( easily replaced with heater for aquatic sp ) - a UVA/UVB type bulb or tube for producing vitamin D 3 for growth/hardening bone ( can also be replaced with powdered supplement ) Cheers Thanks |

QUOTE(ajiemohamed1230 @ Jun 10 2012, 10:49 PM) not sure.. different turtle different personality. but better dont put together la.. i learn my lesson the hard way. maybe I should do a partition or something lar.. cant afford to do more setting for the turtles..Added on June 10, 2012, 10:50 pm will the malayan box face any difficulties without tail? i put it in diff tank, n it eating. but dunno in long term. btw i read online they said lost tails are quite common and dont really affect their life i believe. |

QUOTE(ajiemohamed1230 @ Jun 12 2012, 02:46 PM) sam, got pic for the wounded tail. can advise me what to do? okey will try the lim's bird as mention by Sam first. Added on June 12, 2012, 2:47 pm yup, im from sabah. got my malayan box at Gaya Street for RM 15. So hows ur turtle now? any better? I guess its good to keep him away from the water now. as it easier to get infected. >< btw if you love turtle try go the fish shop at hiltop.. they got this aligator turtle, long neck turtle, and pig nose turtle.. for display : |

QUOTE(ajiemohamed1230 @ Jun 12 2012, 05:25 PM) hiltop in sandakan? No no.. hiltop is in kk luyang area.. as mentioned by sam its foo keong i put my turtle in a container now, but it seem restless without water. i dunno what to do. feel really bad for it.. i guess its ok to let them have some water as long as its clean QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Jun 12 2012, 05:36 PM) Hill top ? Foo Keong ? The only shop I can think of . Yeap its foo keong. have you visited them before? I asked them they said only RES allowed for sale now..@.@ Btw the lim's bird they keep it to the left side of the shop under some bird cage ( unless they don't sell anymore or shift place ) - be ready for dearer price than gaya st's as these are sold for release !! Cheers Cheers okey thanks sam. I guess will pay a visit tomorrow if weather allow.. hopefully they got some variety.. btw dearer mean more expensive? |
