On my way Senior Member 517 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Borneo ISLAND	QUOTE(darkknight81 @ Dec 12 2015, 05:32 AM) May I know how much is the price for Asian leaf turtle at pm? How about star ? Red foot? Cherry head? You mention our east Malaysian pet shop - you from East Malaysia ? Which part ? Just a rough guide to pricing Indian star @ 3" standard - Rm 350-500 Burmese star @ hatchlings Rm 1500-2000 Red foot Rm 400-800 Chery head about same as red foot but seldom offered Asian leaf can be as cheap as RM 5 in local tamu

I found one at kuching at RM 850 Satok weekend market not a bad place to find Asian leaf turtle . Sulcata for RM 850 how big ? Sulcata Hatchlings to about 3" go for about RM 500 only over in most Sabah pet shop .

Wet tortoise right? If you are interested to get into this hobby please research a bit ( basic needs and basic stat ) - yes , they are Wet tortoise ( assume you meant they are tropical ) Pricing depends on how much seller got it for but - hatchlings rm 200-400 , adult about rm 1000-1800 each

On my way Senior Member 517 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Borneo ISLAND	But be warned that what i breed are all illegal stuff ( can't provide paper ) , better to buy from west as those are mostly " imported " or bred locally with papers . I only do the breeding because - my tortoise / turtle are big/old enough , I like this hobby , I like the challenges in trying to reproduce from them . Downsizing since a few unhappy incident over the last few years . [attachmentid=7905691] [attachmentid=7905692] Blond leopard that I bred . Cheers

On my way Senior Member 517 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Borneo ISLAND	QUOTE(finalr3ality @ Oct 31 2016, 11:59 AM) Yniphora looks pretty. I wonder how much. I am releasing them cheaper than a super grade radiated tortoise or an albino leopard tortoise or albino sulcata or maybe a Galapagos tortoise ! But I did sell a few to a couple of good friends at way below what I usually sell . Cheers

On my way Senior Member 517 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Borneo ISLAND	» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(finalr3ality @ Nov 4 2016, 11:49 AM) @tattvooi i used to have the same questions as you. when i buy my tortoise, i didn't prepare to set up the habitat for it. i tot it would be an easy job since its tortoise. 'mind set - long living animal' .But i was wrong. i asked other forum and they gave me habitat set ups that im not ready to buld. such as these. [attachmentid=7949303] [attachmentid=7949304] [attachmentid=7949307] now im looking forward a cheap and reliable set up for housing my sick tortoise. btw, @tattvooi, where did u bought ur tortoise? did u choose them urself or the seller choose for u? i read from other forum, its better if u meet up the breeder and then choose those which is healthy. eg, bright eye, no soft shell, not gasping for air, not housed with other species etc. its hard to find breeder here. its only available at pet shop. veven @samperth is ignoring me for good. hahaha. maybe me banyak macam. @tygoh, im still waititng for ur answer how to bring tortoise naik flight. cz if possible, maybe next time i got go kl i can bring my tort to see DR. or if my tort can't make it before i do, then maybe i can get a new one and choose properly from a breeder. another thing, are tortoise active animals? like, the wander around, curious, walk here and there looking for food or simply sleeps day and night? somehow i see from videos, they are actively walking. but mine sleeps from day to night and only wakes up to eat and soak. not sure bcz still young or sick. any experienced sifus here can explain explain? Did I ?? I did reply your PM , and here ? I don't frequent here as often as I use to ( time constraint maybe ) Btw end of the year is bad for hatchlings , but good egg hunting season for some sp of tortoise ( tropical in particular ) Footed ( red , yellow , cherry head ) , Manouria ( brown , black , impressa ) indotestudo ( forstenii , elongate , Tra) Some hingeback and maybe spider and Burmese star .... lol

I read that u said egg hunting. Malaysia can hunt for tortoise eggs ah? Can found meh? In the forest? How u guys search? So curious oh. Got few time at my place i rescued a few box turtles la. Very interesting creature cz they can hide their legs as well. But released them cz i dint like their smell. Tortoise got no smell. So a bit better Lol in my own back yard / kebun / their enclosure . FYI only Manouria emys emys ( tortoise species ) found in Borneo Island . Even in Peninsular only another 2 more species i.e. I.elongata , M.impressa !!

On my way Senior Member 517 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Borneo ISLAND	When a tortoise is sick or less active not all the time its because of bacterial infection or sort ...... internal parasites or protozoa ........ or basic housing or diet not met !! First you must determine what went wrong , could it be living quarters too cold , wrong diet .........??? I told you in PM to get it off the cement floor ( did you follow , may i have a latest detail or pictures of how it live now )

On my way Senior Member 517 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Borneo ISLAND	Ok , my 2 sen - could be overdose ( both antibiotic or the wormer ) could even be the wrong type of medication administer ( antibiotic in this case ) as febendazole can be use in chelonian worming . Any advice thru the net are just advice - to properly treat the patient , patient needs to be handled / examined and course of action determined thereafter .
