turtle masta,

wouldnt my terrapins get "tension" coz my aqua setup like no place for them to hide, n i always take em & cuddle2 with them ....how about building a turtle cave for some privacy

Advisable to have a place for them to hide, if u have space to place the hiding place.

roger that...ill ask the engineer to build a movable cave

Erk, u need and engineer to do so ka ? The cave must be a high tech one.

anybody know where to get turtle posters here in KL? i mean any poster that shows various turtle species. nice lar if we have it on the wall. i'll frame, then nail it on the wall.

uzairi, you tried keeping the musk turtle? i'm tempted to get one. my cousin is giving away his haul-out, tank and lamp. does it exude musk if just picked up and not harassed in other way?

Aquaria, KLCC do sell those posters.

I got 1 baby Razorback Musk turtle. What do u mean by not harassed ?

jln pasar many shop selling turtles and tortoise huh? where is jln pasar? still new to kl... sorry

There are a few shops selling them but beware, most of the tortoise and turtles are sick. Jalan Pasar is on the right side of the road on the way to Berjaya Times Square from cheras, take a right turn after u see a Post Office.

cuora ambonensis + RES in 1 large (make that ginormous) enclosure

Where's that place ? Very huge i must say.

uzairi, sick meaning they are not active rite?

uzairi..
i have two Red Eared Slider.. named Kame & Kappa..
btw, how do i know their gender.. and one more thing, how big can they grow?
//they always do the knockČ on the aquarium..

Yeah, and they got runny nose.

Gender ? By their claws or tail. They can grow until 7-8 inches SCL.

I think i know where you snap that photo In a Croc farm somewhere in Borneo

If given proper care and space some can reach 11 inches but only female reach that size .Male max out around the 6-7 inche mark
But average size will be around the 7 - 8 inches mark

The slider 's gender can be determine by three way
- The faster growing sibling most properly female
- Adult Male posses longer front nails (use in mating ritual to arouse female )
- Adult male longer tail

runny nose? wat do you mean by runny nose? how to see it?

Discharge like in human having flu/cold
Or in worse case they blow bubble from the nostrils

thanks uzairi and samperth..
btw, tort also can kena selsema eh?

is knocking on the aquarium is normal for the slider?

Their very active during the night. Mine also like that till I can't sleep.
