Thank you for the info! This is new information for me. I shall contact Dr S. Vellayan soon on the Monday to set my appointment after Raya.

Also you think its possible if we met only once? As I have to travel from Kedah to KL for this and I don't go down KL too frequently via car.

Usually someone will pop up and start basing with rude & arrogance in explaining you should know that you should read those by yourself etc if based on previous threads...

Anyhow, I did have some conversation with Jabatan Perhilitan Semenanjung Malaysia @ Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jabatan-Perh...208535215826654 about legal permit and they did provide a detailed answer. So you might want to contact them to have more precise respond.

Would love to know the answers too! Do share with us when you find it!

Just as Sam said, with the current law endorcement in Malaysia, you can always legalize illegal stuff in Malaysia, provided you have money

Bro Dagashi, may I know which substance that you use as substrate?

I guess money talks in this case? 

Used tree bark previously.. Then changed to moss. Moss not good. Too  much moisture.. Fungus grow. Now using tile and newspaper. Newspaper mostly to soak pee. Thier enclosure got lots of texture? Rocks and tree logs take up most space.. Our stars love to climb.

Oh, didn't know u r from Kedah. In that case, u should be looking for vet near to u rather than travelling all the way to kl.
Cheers.. 

Don't think we have tortoise vet in here...

Will do some searching before go to KL with my tortoise. Tried to contact your vet's email but its a dead email. Will give him a call soon for inquiries. Thanks for the info!

Oh, I didn't know the email doesn't work. Usually I just give him a buzz. Let me know if the number doesn't work.

I learn new things from this book: http://home.mindspring.com/~fifereptiles/id2.html

If possible, you may consider to purchase it. 

Not for my species

Now I am currently searching for female tortoise to be mate with my tort. The chance are simply astronomical.

What species are you keeping?

His , is a testudo - Egyptian tortoise !!

Different genus but some basic needs still the same !!

I would like to add radiated & aldarba tortoises to my collection.. 

Got the permission from ur gf dy?

Aldabra will grow too huge for average capacity. That's my very first criteria before deciding to opt any species - size.
I see a lot of people buying hatching Sulcata because its cheap and cute during small, but its a walking bulldozer-will be. I heard they can erode the home cement foundation if you don't provide sufficient depth for the to burrow

Just a note to diff (my observation and experience anyway ) on the sulcata - they dig to get away from heat and to moisture in their native homeland  !! But here in malaysia just a hide or shade and most wont dig too much so as to form burrows - just a depression on the surface !! And our mud are wet enough just 1-2" into ground !!

Peace just sharing my view

Thank you for sharing your thought! I am sure you own Sulcata, how huge is him already as well as his age?
