This thread is quiet than what I expected, everyone is busy preparing for the coming GE? 
Let me share few pictures of my RT, and hopefully more people will be willing to share pictures of their beloved tortoise 




PS: All pictures were captured last year.

For the last one, I got him last year from a LFS near my house. He was mistreated by his previous owner since very young age.
The previous owner kept him in a plastic container filled with water all the time (thought it was a turtle, luckily that the previous owner never drown him).
The main foods that the previous owner used to feed him with are dog food and kangkung.
I could have bought another healthy RT with an extra RM200 but I just can't let him suffer anymore..
Until today,  the condition of its shell had never been improving but at least he won't need to suffer from poor living condition and poor husbandry anymore, and I've never regret that I decided to bought him instead of a healthy RT 

i just bought a couple of RES last week.
it seems don't like to eat pallets.

anyway to encourage them to eat?
does buying them a big aquarium with basking platform help stimulate their appetite?

and also saw some small white patch on one of the turtle shell.
i tot its dirt but it can't come out even i wash with water!
anyway to remove that??

Ur res white spot don't go away??

Hi, i m new here
wanna to ask ShiFu here! has a question about my leo, it's eat less and less, and sleep anytime except bathing.
And when i catch it up, it's eyes 1 open normal, another 1 open slowly..

I pet it in my courtyard(grassland?lolz)all the day and keep it in box(dirt land) at the night.

It's a 6inch male.

Just one more information , just bought or had him for awhile already ?
Cheers

nope. looking for solution. the first page mentioned we can apply certain oil on their shells. but i'm not really sure which one is more effective/ which one to use. need to consult the masters here.

Has being quiet since about 2 maybe 3 years ago !!

Nice

I just simply love the radiation pattern of your radiated tortoise.
The unique "radiation look" on their shell and their chubby face and legs are the main reason why I love radiated tortoise so much
Hopefully I can be one of the radiated tortoise breeder somedays 
Just think about the feeling when I see the babies radiated tortoise pip out from the eggs is enough to make me crazy 
Such a wonderful creature   

Glad you knew what causes the reduce traffic in this thread !!

Just to inform you that this guy's fused scute is much worse than the previous one and has affected the overall shape , nothing can be done now unlike the previous one with only 3or 4 fused !!

If he is a Male , he should still be able to breed (hopefully ) But if Female her eggs may not develop properly or get stuck while being laid - shell towards end to tail part rather flatten !!

Cheers

Since there are RT gurus here, mind i ask do you notice the white lines circulating each of their scutes. What does that mean.? I do not have a picture here, but will snap one when i get home.

Being awhile since i see you post here . Thats new growth !! Specially define if no growth for awhile , normally  you wont even notice its there .

Cheers

Samperth sifu still remember me. Really torts sensei ^^   

In addition to it, the white lines are not even height around the scutes. Is that normal for growth that will be even gradually.?

The second plant is call mulberry tree ( leaves used to feed silk worm for silk ) That is a good green for al;l tortoise !!

OK back to the main problem - You got it for a month how about the previous owner ? I know a big group of them landed our shore about 2-3 mths back !!

If these are fresh imports they will have to be treated differently to LTC (Long Term Captive)

Cheers

hi

i can see that ally snapper is not  famous among you guys

is there a problem with this type ?

or just people don't really adore them ?

i'm kinda curious lol
