Turtle needs water and lives either in the sea or rivers. Tortoise doesnt need water that much and they lives on the land.

hi guys, below were my manouria emys:


drinking


playing. i keep them in here if i go outstation so that they dont run away.


messy but yummy

i miss them already

enjoy

so this is tortoise la?? look very healhty woww

ya la. torts la. wat else?! ;p

look very healthy because i cleaned them everyday. fyi

Any idea, what the current market for star tortoise?

from what i understand, we can say...

aquatic - always in water. very seldom on land. example marine turtle, green sea turtle, fly river turtle, RES, painted, common map, eastern mud, matamata, side necked and blax3

semi aquatic - most of the time in water, but go up to land to bask, breed and feed. they usually shit and piss in water. contoh, spotted, malayan box, pond and so on.

semi terrestrial - most of the time on land, but sometime soak themselves in water. to breed, sometime to feed, to escape from predator. shit & piss on land.

terrestrial - always on land. water just for drink and humidity. CANT swim.

ethereal - sometimes seen flying, floating on cloud 9. after u dead, surely u can have this type of turtle. oh they cant be repaired.

my 8 RES getting bigger! in july, i bought them. 50 cent size. now their carapace length almost 3 inches. but only half yang develop. 4 lagi stunned. tak membesar sampai sekarang. aih...

got a shop in ipoh. wanted to deal with him before, but i begone for practical in KL. so this is the excerpt from his email to me.

Sorry for the late reply.My pc hvg some problem.Ok,Now i hv 2 adult female
worth RM 1500 each.Male adult = RM800each.Baby star =RM80each.

Aquarium=RM280 orderly made

Look forward to hear frm u.

the tank mentioned is a 4-ft fish tank. low or long tank dunno.

Nice one scales.

Its around rm68-rm250 depending on the size.

Good one Leviathan. About the RES, what i can say is u need to give a bigger tank or separate them. This is because the other 4 were outnumbered by the other 4 while eating and that's why they are not growing. I suspect tank too small or the other 4 is just too aggressive while eating.

siyes ly anybody here know the place to buy baby
1. Cuora amboinensis
2. Sternotherus odoratus
pls share...

just now when i wash my tank, there are small worms in the water, blood red and got hook at their mouth (or ass, no idea). wonder what are they... then, also in the water, jentik2. shit my tank is very calm even nyamuk can put their eggs. adei.. what to do?

already cuci the tank. so those unidentified side creatures in the tank show that my tank is near original, natural, flora & fauna, environmental setup. haha. that's y my turtles blooms, are strong and wonderful. superb! despite ada turtles yang rencat sket pembesaran nya.

Bloodworms ? U got their pictures ?

no i dont have the pix. not sure bloodworm or not. very2 small, cacing kerawit kot?

Cacing kerawit is inside your stomach dude. LOL

anyone of you keep terrapins here? uzairi, do you have 1?
