OMG.. really like that?

aahhh that's nicee

yes so curios to see tame turtle too hehe

uzairi, u paint the razor back ah in to that color?? so bad boy @ ! haha.....

har??painted one ah??

then my bf told me that if one day a turtle/tortise bite your hand..it won let u go unless there is a big thunder de wor...is this true kah?? jus curious...

No la, that one original la bro..

Its a myth, why not you try it yourself ?

razorback musk and diamondback terrapin are two unrelated species... even from different family and genus

depends on what turtle/tortoise u're referring to.. and whether they trust/know you enough to not perceive you as threat.

docile ones like star, redfoot, radiated etc would just let go immediately if they accidentally bite.

res would hold on a bit and cause some pain before letting go. some CB i've adopted would let go immediately if bitten.

snappers would break bone/take meat 1st (and then probably won't let go either).. but i'll leave the practicality to uzairi

usually its the softshells that they refer to as won't let go until thunder... but i'd say they'd just hang on if they don't feel like letting go. the bites i've tasted are from smaller specimens that couldn't grip enough flesh, but then again have lost some skin and blood (and probably meat LOL..)

your razorback, though not inclined to bite, would probably cause bleeding if it bites but nothing serious.

hi all... i bought 4 star tortoises.. 3 of em the eyes still not open yet.. i'm really worried bout them.. hope they survive.. they hardly move.. can even see where the food and water is.. any idea?

the other 1 is bigger than the 3.. n is really active.. start eating d..

Erm, why did you buy such young star tortoises? Have you set up a warm husbandry for them yet?

i've put wood shavings and uv light in a 0.5x1 metre aquarium..

Woodshavings? The ones for hamster? No, that is not healthy. The wood shavings can cause lung infection since most shavings are made of pine, which secretes phenols that harm the lungs. UV light should be warm enough for them. Make sure you can feel that the tank is warm.

Eyes not yet open means unhealthy.... how old? Could be a few weeks old only.... which is too young. Normally such young ones easily fall sick and some to their deaths.... not to frighten you but it is true coz I learnt this the hard way. it would be better for you to go back to the shop and exchange them..... but I will leave it to more pros to let you know what the outcome would be.

For me, eyes not opening is something worrying.

oh .. tis is frightening news.. wat can i put in the tank to kip them warm besides the lamp? the 3 stars are onli 1.5 inch in length.. while the bigger 1 is about 2 inch.

1.5 inch? Wow.... seriously too young. We encourage people to get stars at 3 inches, coz when they are smaller than 3 inches, they are at a high risk of catching some infection since they are so young and immune system is still weak.

A heat lamp is enough. Also, use newspaper or paper towels for now. The wood shavings may cause more problems. I use Breeder's Celect cat litter which is made of recycled newspaper, very safe and clean for tortoises. You can also use a under tank heater.... normally this is a heater mat. I think some places like pet safari or pets wonderland might sell but you would need to make sure it doesn't overheat and cook the tortoises lah.

Food has to be chopped up nicely for them. Hibiscus leaves, some sawi and opuntia cactus(Prickly Pear) is good for them. Also calcium supplements. When that young, they have soft shells.... and they need to get enough calcium to grow strong and healthy.

Also, try and let them get some sun light. 20 minutes under warm morning sun light daily for them is good.

Waaa, rare stuff? White body.

LOL, i never dare to try also. My hand are always 1 ft further than the snapper's head.

Any pictures? That way we can help you better..
