LOL hahaha laugh.gif

You sell officially like distributor or simply sell only boss? Because I don't see you selling here, but with that quantity you said, it wouldn't be a shock if you are distributor biggrin.gif
*
I am just a backyard breeder who do " cash and carry " only .
Who-ever( those that i know ) willing to come pick up i may sell - my sending limited to within Sabah only ( for fear my animals will suffer in transit )

Some i only offer local as imports are common ie sulcata , footed !! Some i offer out as none or limited produced oversea - Impressa , burmese star .... !!


I dont sell here ie "LYN " because i wont sent and i bet not many willing to come pick up Borneo !!

BUT my babies are all over - who knows maybe some pets of yours are bred by me !!

Cheers

Just Sulcata and Brown emys have reach the x000's mark LOL

A profilic adult female sulcata can easily drop over 100 eggs and depending on fertility of stud , incubation method ..... Bla bla 70-80 hatchlings easy and with a few Layer to work with .... Over a few season , over a 1000 hatchlings produced !! Why import ?

Hi Sifu,

A silly question:

Let's say I am willing to travel to East Malaysia to buy from you, how can I get it back to West Malaysia for restricted species?  rclxub.gif

Then your "backyard" must be really huge!!
Wish I could be a "backyard" breeder like you someday.
Our climate is almost perfect for most tortoise species.
If more people are willing to work on tortoise, less import will be needed as we can produce almost all species locally, thus help a little in the conservation of rare species as well.

Ya , most if not all sp are breedable right here !! I dont have all sp of tortoise so cant say all , can only say all sp that I have breeding adults i have bred before !!

Really? Can you name me a few that dont cost more than rm200 and wont grow half as big as a RES? I really like that PNT but i heard it gets VERY big as well. My maximum is a 3ft tank which i am getting tonight, it's 36Lx13Wx18H and i hope the turtle can grow to adult in the tank without having to change to a bigger one.
*
I dont research or spoon feed !! Do your homework first .

There are many sp that mature at half of adult Female RES size ( assume you know how big that is ) and also you knew or was told adult F RES are bigger than adult M !!

Even a few of our local sp of turtle dont max out as big as an adult F RES !!

Don't found yet. I am targeting the smallest size though.

Any approximate price range for this species, sifu?

Supply and demand !!

I wont know your seller mark up !!

I use to buy my AST hatchlings years ago at rm 450 each !!

Can you share with us the setting for your tortoise or their housing?

Would really love to use your setting as example smile.gif
*
My indoor setting very very basic
- tropical sp , i use wood bark ( exo terra forest bark ) or similar as substrate and a hide just like my Indotestudo hatchlings pic i posted yesterday . Heat provided from above till they about 4-6" depending on sp

- drier sp , i use paper pellets or wood pellets as substrate and a hide !! Food fed on a plate . Heat provided like above !!

All watering done out of enclosure / container .... So substrate need to cope only with pee and poo ( last longer )

Outdoor one varies and changes as the " season needs " but some ( tropical sp like footed , elongated , spider or hinges .... ) on grounds 24/7 only moved if greens stop growing or dont grow as well( usually once a year ) !!

Cheers

Really looking forward for the picture! thumbup.gif

Tomorrow I will find some time to go hunting for another pair of Kleinmann's tortoise. Will post picture soon if success.
*
Just be warn unless its ex-pet ( thus LTC ) all Kleinman's in our country are WC import !!

If can afford pls buy more as they become more rare in the trade as times fly . If not for their size i would have bought more to work with them !

I think you need a lab la sifu. Have you tried contacting some organisations and see if they can sponsor your work?
*
Sponsor ? What for !! Fund ? I got enough , for daily running or to buy new stuff - they self-finance their own upkeep ( sale of hatchlings ) and i dont want to be known or recognised for anything !! So no point .

I dont want to lose some if not bulk of my herd while doing so !!

Thanks for the suggestion thou

Hi sifus, I am a new tortoise lover and i currently having 4 cherryheads (2-4 inchs). I have so many queries because I dont know whether i do it right or wrong. I feed them with lettuce, long bean, and a lil mix with mazuri as well. i found that they likes long bean the most, they eat less on lettuce and mazuri. is it cactus pad necessary? other than that, is it necessary to put UVB lights if i take them sunbath daily in my garden, they eat weeds and leafs when they walk around the garden. where to buy the UV light with a pin so than i can pinned it on my tank. what is the requirement of the heat and UV of the bulb? I put sands (medium big size, kasar) in the tank, i found that the sands will easily stick in their body and caused to the food become dirty. is it ok if they unintentionally eat the sands?will them be sick? because i can hear some sound when they yawn or poop. please give me some advice sifus. notworthy.gif
*
Cherry are tropical sp and being a jungle sp they dont really bask in sun like other drier grassland sp !!

Change the sand as soon as possible - use coco coir or tree bark sold by exoterra .....
