QUOTE(horndog @ Mar 8 2013, 01:20 PM) Hi, how's your RES doing? Hi, thanks for yr concern..Constant yawning is one of the many symptoms of possible respiratory infection. Have you noticed any other symptoms such as constant basking, swimming lopsided or bubbling at her nostrils? Could you show us some pictures of her living condition? If you're prepared to bring her to see a vet, pm me and I'll share a herp vet located in Ampang. Good luck!  other than yawning.. her eyes kinda swollen and constantly basking.. im not sure she can swim or not.. cuz everytime i put her inside the water.. she will swim toward the basking area.. will post some pict tonight.. are there any pet vet in klang area? >.< |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Mar 13 2013, 07:28 PM) Looks good ? except for the slightly swollen eye ? There's growth meaning it was eating before you got it - care to show or narrate a bit on where the whole setup is placed ? Cheers 
im a beginner.. not sure is this tank good enough for them.. since im living in hostel plus small room.. there is no space to put a larger tank.. >.< |

QUOTE(horndog @ Mar 14 2013, 01:04 AM) From my experience, local fish shops that sell these turtles are generally not too concerned about proper living conditions for them, so we shouldn't use their set ups as a benchmark. yeah.. totally agree with u.. they dont really concern about them.. Having said that, I too believe your set up is good enough, at least until these fellas outgrow your tank, which would be sooner than you think. If I'm not mistaken, RI is contagious to the other turtles, so you may need to start segregating the guy with it from the other 2. Perhaps it's also prudent to purchase a thermometer to monitor their water temperature, a cheap one should do. "aiya.. they dont need big bekas one.. small bowl with little water is ok dy.." that what they say to me.. ==" so.. i need to seperate her from the others? how? still need to bring them to the vet or any pet shop selling medic for them? yeah.. planning to buy heater and basking lamp.. my lighting not really create enough heat.. zzz.. do you know where can i buy stuff such as basking lamp, turtle food etc online? |
