What do you all think about these 2 Aldabra offered at RM 7000 each in Adpost ?

This thread is warming up again ?

Fused scutes on back ? Bottom seems fine as those pink line are growth !!

I think could be same case as mic_tcs's Leopard !!

From the picture you attach - I could only see growth line on the plastron !!

Hi guys, i am new to turtles and tortoise, i am planning to set up a turtle tank (1.5ft) with basking area, a basic and simple setup for a turtle but i cannot decide which type of turtle i should get. I saw some long tail turtle at the aqua store nearby my house, they are selling it at rm10/pc so i'm wondering if this type of turtle is easier to maintain for a beginner like me? Or if you know any other type of turtle hatchling that i should get? I have a pretty low budget at rm50 a turtle. Please advise, thank you.

Hi Sifu SAMPERTH,

Thank you for your comment..

This star has splayed legs. Plus growth is only 0.4cm since July 2012. Very slow compared to my other star.

You mean she has fused scutes???

Confirmed she is female?

Tq again..

My friend called the seller and he thinks this is a fraud cos the guy speaks nonsense....

Maybe it's fused scutes, cos it seems like the shell is not growing... gotta wait and see what happen...

LOL , beside those are B grade - Extra scutes or Split Scutes ( look closely )

DONT sent any money - I smell something not right as well !!

Cheers

Hi taiko sam...
have u came across a guys selling aldabra in mudah sabah too??...
around that price as well...lolx

u can still get it at this price. some night market are selling it at Rm5 each. But they will bundle and u needa get 2 at price of Rm10

Saw quite a few sources selling aldabra recently, even some popular pet shop is selling them.
Aldabra is out of my list due to their gigantic size.
Just imagine how many tons of veggie and grass they will consume per day when they grew up.

Ya I remember seeing that ad - but higher price at 8k each

Picture used are much younger - hatchlings picture !!

One of the reason many are offering Aldabra is because these can still be legally imported !!

Cheers

Be it the long-tail type ( like in picture ? ) or the green type turtle ( RES ) CHOOSE wisely
- actively moving around ( observe for a while , ask shop to feed them )
- digits,tail all intact
- nothing extra on shell ( discoloration on shell )

Start with a healthy one and all else are easier !!

Cheers

I only suspect it may have fused scutes as only picture of plastron show growth line and not on the plastron picture .

The splayed legs could be from anything - MBD , shell not growing properly .........etc

I remember you got it when it was big already ? Could be from previous owner !!

Cheers

good advice there!!!!

how many times do u clean ur turtle aquarium per-week? is it true that when the turtle grow big, u hv to transfer them to bigger aquarium otherwise the turtle will die...?

Chinese Golden Thread turtle... somebody is selling this recently...

Wont die but depends on how small your previous turtle aquarium you may have to change water every hour LOL

But bigger tank for bigger turtle , more comfy for your turtle lah !!
