hi guys, i got green tortoise 4 adopt...same like the pic above...rare it almost 1 year now...i just want to give it away due my wife dont like it...if u guys/girl want,can pm me for the detail...

omg i didnt know RES eat fish
sometimes i do feed them with bugs. hahaha my RES love it.

Hi again uzairi! Thanks again for your feedback and I really appreciate you taking the time to answer me. Glad to know that caring for them is similiar to the common snapper, I loved my snapper...unfortunately I had to let it go. Anyway I am back for good now and finally setlling down, meaning I can dedicate more time to my pets. Now that I know I can take care of an Ally Snapper.....all I need to do is to find a place or someone to sell me a hatchling

hi BillyJoe, i believe it is not easy to find hatcling Allys now...got a forummer here who had been looking for it since pretty long but still no news. Any picts of your prev Common snapper? How big was it when you give away?



Kamekame.

Mine sometimes i feed them shrimps and crickets too.

Another thing i missed, they grow quite big and you need a big tank ready for them. Furthermore they can grow quite fast in the earlier years of their lives and they ate quite a lot so be ready to fork some money for their foods.

dudes... for turtles; musk... de water ph shud be lower or higher are better ar??

I think should be near to ph7 rite ?

Hi kamekame,

Yeah...tell me about it...I have covered almost all the bigger pet shops around Klang Valley now, still no luck. My snapper was around 6-7 inches in shell length when I gave him away, only had him for two years. As for pics, sorry to say I don't have any as it was quite a while ago and back then I didn't have a digital camera.

Hi again uzairi! Heheh yeah...been reading up care sheets and skulking in other forums to learn more about Ally Snappers. I am quite aware as to how big they can get and I am not too worried about space as I am ready for it. I don't mind spending a little on food too, so long as my pet is happy! Only issue now is to find someone/somewhere that sells Ally Snapper hatchlings....*sigh*

just got myself another addition to the family, one sulcata and red foot..

Billy, be patient for i am sure they will come around Good luck!

mwtang! Wow...RedFoot tortoise? And Sulcata tortoise?? Great stuff! Congrats! Where did you buy them? Big or small? Share pictures please!



Kamekame.

and in the future, if my sulcata and yours is difference sex... we can kacuk em

The smallest ally snapper was at Pets Safari which retails for rm500.

Woah, nice man. How much u bought them and share some pictures.

good news, found an alligator snapping turtle at taman desa aquarium. dunno if hatchling or not but size was around 2 inch. selling at rm160. they only have 1 though ( used to have 3, but 2 sold already)

p.s: at first i wanted to keep this info to myself since im also very interested in having one ally too, but not right now since im quite broke after raya, plus no space to put the ally plus am concentrating in my new cichlid tank project

Was wondering, is it safe to use water straight from the tap when doing a water change?
even without putting anti-chlorine, aquarium salt or let it age overnight?
previously i use dechlorinated, salted and aged water but quite troublesome since i have to store it first in a big tong plus need to carry the water using buckets . so was wondering of a more efficient way to do water changes

i use pure water from tap.
hmm use since my RES was bought 5 years ago nothing wrong with my RES. planing to buy nother 2 more next week. =D

Hi sayasebuk,

Whoa! Taman Desa aquarium? Where exactly is that? Do you maybe have their phone number so I can call to book it first??

Cheers!

Edit: I apologize for my rude behavior, but in the excitement I forgot to thank you for the info, thanks for sharing sayasebuk

Edit: I ought to slap myself for not checking the stickies section on Taman Desa Aquarium...got the address and number....sorry for the questions

Ohh thats great find! Good luck Billy! Go fast!

Btw, where is this Taman Desa?



Kamekame.

Its better to use the old method and safe the animals later. If we use straight from tap water, the chlorine level and ph level is not suitable for most aquatic animals.

RES is another story, they are very hardy.

I think its situated at Taman Desa Waterpark there.

goodness me. snapping turtles damn agressive.!

Yeah, they are aggressive but if u kept them for quite some time they will be less aggressive like my one.
