Back to my BRUMATION

Isn't that the sex organ for male?

This thread is sure silent......
Anyway I am in the process of re-building an enclosure for my tortoise. The list I should have are;

- UV light - 1 x PT-2192 Solar Glo 125W (inclusive UVA and UVB plus Heat)  & 1 x PT-2056 ET Porcelain Clamp Reflector Large

- Substrate - I will use Alfafa Hay.

- Bathing everyday or every other day.

- Food - Mainly Mazuri.
Any other suggestion in general for my setup?

45cm x 60cm for enclosure but will upgrade for a bigger size soon, at least . I really wish to set up outdoor closure but afraid people break into my housing area and kidnap my tortoise

The species is Kleinmann's tortoise.

It is almost wiped out, even in Egypt itself. I intended to search throughout the world for a female tortoise so I can pair them up for future rebreeding.

What kind of species are you keeping bro?

If you don't mind, can I know the price for both pair of stars and leopards?

Does both two species posses different in character?

Around 4 figures as well. Not the price is not the issue, availability is

How about your setting for them? Care to share with newbie like me?

I am having a hard time searching for a suitable substrate for my tortoise. May I know where do you bought your black soil and coco coil? Currently using hay but not recommended in a long run because it contains too much protein that will cause kidney failure on continuous consumption.

Also if there is any chance, do your current house near any pet shop? I need to purchase UVB bulb and thermometer and whatnot but nonono (@ nonono) don't have the stock right now

Even with less than 500 wild specimen ( less than that number in captive )  Yniphora can only command less than RM 5000 a pc ( last known price of 3" ) HOW much do you think an Egyptian is worth ( you can think many things BUT there are a few hundred captive specimen in the world ) I know many of those colony - Europe , USA , parts of Asia including Malaysia ..................

EGYPTIAN are not that rare overall as a sp !!

Pricing is what you think its worth - IF YOU LIKE its priceless , if you dont need it anymore its worthless till you found another who wants and needs it  !!

SINCE you mention me , I reply what I know !!

Yni ( cant be legally owned in most case ) cant be compared with Aldabra ( can be legally owned and legally bred elsewhere - takes years many years to mature to reproduce thus the higher price ? )
Most sp that are sold in Malaysian market can reproduced in under 10 years - Aldabra takes about 15-20 years to do that .

Is this what you mean bro?

Black soil + something + something? Without pesticide

Double checked regarding the existance of pesticide in this soil - its none.

I am concern if they use animal poop as fertilizer, like a bat poop or something. I am afraid that will bring harm to my tortoise health. So as precaution, I only cover 1/5 of the total area with this soil and see his development.

So far everything is good

Yes, indoor as my tortoise is unsuitable for outdoor enclosure.
Here to overall view;


This is before I attached my UVB

Will post the latest setting soon.

7.5ft. x 5 ft. x 0.5 ft. Its the minimum size for mature tortoise. Will build bigger soon as I found appropriate plastic enclosure (really having a hard time searching for this).

The side is short so I have to put indoor fence but this little fella is too lazy to climb over

Mind you that my enclosure is the minimal for ONE, MATURE tortoise. The bigger the happier they will be.

I just purchase from hardware shop. But let me teach you the tips and trick for indoor enclosure when you face the difficulties in finding the appropriate container size;

1 - Find a brick. A construction brick, commonly reddish-orange in color or simply the white, crappy and brittle one. Either type will do.
2 - Arrange in square or rectangular, but use my size as minimal measurement (unless you are keeping sulcata, which is very much better to set an outdoor enclosure).
3 - Go to any hardware store or stationary store or botanical store, buy a plastic cover. Like curtain shower or the one that people use to cover car or raincoat.
4 - Cover the base and sides of the arranged brick.
5 - Put your substrate and arrange the setting as you like!

Hope my tips somehow helps your tortoise to be happier!

You can somehow potty-train them. Not too precise, but at least they know when a specific time for them to poop.

You have to soak them on the same time, everyday, for approximately the similar duration (15-30 minutes, replace the water twice). My tortoise will poop during the soaking and then very uncommon for him to poop after that. Hence the room should be quite clean from their excrement.
