That's a good news sis.

No updates yet, wont be going there until next week.

Im not sure but i think that's not a softshell. Because last time i see it was an Asian Giant Pond Turtle, not a softshell. And juvenile star for rm230 is a overkill. Their prices always changing one coz they sell it expensive ppl dun wanna buy.

U want the pictures badly eh ? Give me 1-2 days, i'll post the pictures for u dont worry. Now a bit busy coz preparing to go back to cyberjaya.

Kamekame wanted to play with asian turtles first eh ?

Yeah, its completely normal. But remember not to let him to be so dry ok ?

Inside the blue tank is either Painted Terrapin(Calagur) or River Terrapin(Batagur). The one that were housed together with burmese mountain tortoise im not sure coz last time i saw was a Giant Asian Pond turtle.

No problems dude, i encouraged people that's with the same hobby as me. I'll try to help them whenever i can.

Nice price, but now dunno where to get the money then.

For shell rot problems, i usually use sea cucumber oil (Minyak Gamat) to treat them. Firstly i drydock them for 1 day and the next day i use dettol to clean the infected place, let it dry and then put a little sea cucumber oil. It works for me.

Dettol and betahadine/iodine have almost the same antiseptic functions so u can use either one. As for the sea cucumber(gamat) i experimented it myself and i get positive results. The wounds and the rotten shell stopped and curing, so i think its a good solution too since we can get plentiful supply of them here in malaysia. But remember not to put excessive sea cucumber at one place, they are still oil and might danger the turtles itself.

Ive already put my boxie on the soil, giving them the natural feel. The ones still in the tank are snappers and asian leaf. I might get one but not so soon coz now no cash.

Yeah, at first im very excited to get it but it seems that i need to use the money for other purposes. Maybe next time.

Hehe, nice aite ? That's why im sharing it with u guys.

Minyak gamat is sea cucumber's oil. You can get it from any pharmacies i supposed.

I understand. Yeah, u are correct about that, the plastron wont be getting any uva/uvb at all. Maybe when we drydock them, we can put some gamat oil to the infected place.

Well, u can see if they are too dry. maybe can sprinkle some water to him.

And pictures of my Asian Leaf Turtles -

U want plastron shots also ka ? Tomorrow i go take. All in the tank are the same species, different colouring because they are tanned. Hatchlings cannot find coz they are WC mostly, unless someone breed them. They are other hatchlings selling also what ? Musk turtle, knobbed sawback turtle, yellow bellied and there a lot more out there what ? Go Pet Safari lah, they got new hatchlings rite ?

Yeah, i did notice about the mud turtle but im not so sure about it. Ive been wandering around trying to find the real species. Coz there's only two of them that got the white spot behind its head. Others dont have at all. Maybe tomorrow i'll check again for the white spots behind their head again. ::

I was wandering why its different from this one since i got them.

Update about the white spot behind their head.
I get confused so many times now. Firstly the Malayan Flat Shelled turtle and now this Malayan Black Mud turtle.

Thanks to you. If its not because of your curiosity i wont know its a different species.

Different, they look different a lot.

Yeah, i was confuse with those 2 species of my collection. What makes me confused me even more was the white spots behind their heads. After what kamekame told me, i did another research about the female and it was correct. LOL. Now im planning to find for the "real asian leaf" pulak.

You know where to get them ?

Indeed, but they are very shy. Especially the females, they never eat in front of me. How's your quest for turtles ? Come la join the fun here.

And my friend's Black Breasted Leaf Turtle stocks were not that good either. Most probably because they stressed, a few of them died already.

Welcome Leviathan, enjoy your stay here.

That's a Razorback Musk, the price written there is Rm85 each. The uncle said 2 for Rm130 is it?

They are doing fine, Giant Pond are too active and likes to mate whenever i spray water to moisten the place. Spiny Hill in the other hand is quite shy and now a bachelor since his partner died because of not eating.

That's the market price, and it wont grow any bigger than your palm.

They are just too small, indeed a good price but scared later they cannot adapt to new environment. Anybody with musk turtles do give your opinions here.

Woah, damn big lah like that. The ally sure have a high taste on his diet. LOL.

There's 3 type of Gallon that were used until today. I think the one that ure mentioning is U.S. liquid gallon. They way to calculate is correct like what u had shown.

Some info about Gallons : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon

Dont be surprised, i feed my big snapper with ikan kembung last time and it went straight inside his mouth. And the ikan kembung is bigger than his head also.
