Size as in picture when released ?

They are hatchling size survival is almost 0% !!

anyone has extra that i can adopt?
looking at something like star tortoise
i have big enough garden for it to walk around

I am looking for a solution for a bigger terrarium for my pair of red-footed tortoises. I have been buying my stuff from exoreptiles. Any other shops around Klang Valley I can shop? Probably looking to get a bigger terrarium and maybe some solution to increase humidity.

Any recommendations?

Depending on size ( for fear of predation ) let them roam in the garden . [attachmentid=4417986]

Phewww 2 days and finished reading all 42 pages of good sharing and caring advises thanks..

Hi, i'm also a turtle (yes so far only interested in turtles) enthusiast but never realized this LYN forum. Been keeping turtles as pets on and off for many years since i was a teen. Some sp i had kept before were RES (of course), box turtle, pig nosed, golden thread and most recently a baby CST.

Ok thats all for intro.. will be coming back with more specific questions later..

Btw, there's a new fb page for turtle and tortoise lovers in malaysia at https://www.facebook.com/TurtlesAndTortoisesMalaysia.

guys need help
currently my turtle(the mini one that usually sell at pet shop)
seem like sleeping for a long time

is this what they call as hibernation?
or is my turtle sick? the eyes dont open but it does move around with both eyes closed, sometimes eat less because of eyes closed

Its should be sick , turtle this size dont hibernate .

Less active usually either sick or environment too cold - Add a basking light or a water heater to keep water warm .

But turtle thats still small usually dont have long to turn things around .

I see,
I dont have any advanced setup for my turtle, just a normal cheap & simple aquarium
and I read guide on net, it need the sunlight, so I currently try put it outside daily

also I got a pair of turtle but one of them died
I need to careful on this one

where to source for good quality tortoise in KL?... juz in case anyone here got good contacts. thankiu sifu

Are the tortoises don't poop apart from drinking time? Only they will poop when they drink water?

If we use the exo terra substrate (such as coco husk/forest bark), we just change whichever portion which is affected by poop?

For young tortoise, stepping on the substrate won't give them the sinking feeling? Or keeping on newspaper is OK as well?

Hi guys and gals,

I got a 4 days business trip soon that I cannot escape from.. anyone can recommend where to park my 4 red eared sliders (think 18 years old by now)? Just need someone to feed them + change the water in the tub. Or if someone here can volunteer to take care of them for me would be great (I am willing to pay a token fee)

They can tahan without food for 4 days as long as you don't do it too often.Just try to change the tub water a day or 2 before you leave so the water can tahan for 4 days. Since they're not eating theu won't produce that much waste anyway!

Hallo TTT lovers!

My bro got me a pair (i hope so) of baby (?) RES, and like nazrul90 i only have this round plastic container that bro get together with the first turtle bro got me (died already T___T) no filter (no worry i change it once twice a week ) and found a small unused of glass tank (use this too sometimes, plastic more for feeding (as if)

So, i dont have the basing area (only a stone/wood for them to dry off) when i put them under the sunlight outside).

The thing is one of them refused to eat at all. and not so active, nails gone one after another,developing fungus on their feet i think.

Question:
Please guide me on what do i do?
Im looking for the UV light, but HOW MANY WATTS and W H E R E ? PJ area.
Taman Megah Pet Family doesn't have it, yet look for it at Taman Paramount's. or any website to get it VERY URGENT??
