no problemo

More or less like a UV lamp with a water pump.

Wahseh, my collection not that big also lah.

mind to share... among all ur turtles & tortoises, which one is your favorite species? and why?

Among all, the most favourite is my Star Tortoise named Ringo and Jem. They are the 2nd batch of ttt that i get. And they are very close to me compared to the others since they need a lot more attention.

First ttt that i got was my small ally snapper, from the day i bought him/her, hunter grow bigger day by day. Last time when i got hunter, there's few more rare turtles but i dont give a damn since i was only interested with the ally. Fell regretted but now im adding new ttt day by day hoping i can get a number of collection and later open a turtle farm. That was my dream all this while. After a few months later i bought my star tortoise followed by continous buying of ttt.

Other than that, i got a lot of new friends while enjoying this hobby. Thanks to all and i hope we all can fullfil our past time with this hobby not forgetting not to waste ur money too much.

thanks for sharing

speaking of money, to maintain them also not cheap...
for me, nowadays with 7 tortoises eating 2 times a day... my sawi really finishes quick. One week now have to spend around RM4 on sawi. When they are adult, I think have to spend more

Sooo, I can't imagine how much money u need to spend just to maintain em all

Btw, just uploaded this video (taken from phone)...
Dinner Time for all 7 of em

About their foods, its like rm15 weekly for vege such as Sawi, Long Beans, Eggplant, Waterchress,Pumpkin and french beans. I feed them once a day to avoid overgrow. Recommended for juvenile to adult turtles/tortoise is 3 times per week actually. Monthly around Rm100 i supposed including the bedding and pellets.

still here. I haven't go back home town yet.

i tried to feed them once a day, but everytime they seems so hungry... So i give in and feed them. But every feeding is just nice. Not too many

with so many tortoises & turtles, have u managed to breed?

They lay lots of egg but all not successfully hatched. Until now, i managed to see 12 eggs and until now only 3 egg left.

My star tortoise gatal edi, dunno when can get baby stars.

U know what ? I top up rm10 for 2 months. KFC also seldom eat, more on McD.

do we still need to feed them with calcium if i rear my tortoise in my airwell and they get direct sunlight for several hours a day? do they need any vitamins also? or i can just rear them like normal

Well, giving a little more wont harm them so i suggest u still give them once a week. Vitamins also can be done like that.

my tortise really like sun bathing. in the water tank i put two bricks n everyday it saty on it unless someone scare it, then it will hide into water.

Some of them prefer to be not inside the water, so its recomended to put a place for them to be totally out from the water.

i one day feed once time only coz my tortise always eat n eat. i think too fat already even the leg n head cannot go into shell in the same time. wat i mean is when we touch it's leg, the head sure come out. when we touch the head, the leg come out.

it is too fat?? i need to let my tortise diet??

for bedding i bought extra the first time cause scared in future when want no stock. 5 packets of them. My wife say i gila. But cheaper to buy more ma. For suppliment, i think can last very long. For vege, i got sponsor my mother in law settle

my titan doesn't like hibiscus. But my bubu love them a lot. I feed him the flower every weekend. Curi from park one

how come didn't hatch. Tempreture prob ah??

If u can successfully hatch them, it would be a good mileage for your farm plan

$10 for 2 months? No need to call gf ah

alien...

I feed them early morning before go to work. On the basking light, then put the vege

evening when come back, remove their shit. Then add vege also. Most of the time they can finish

i like the feeling when i'm preparing the food, all of them will come towards me. They know it is feeding time

no la not the same. UV sterilizer are used for those with planted aquarium. used for eliminating algae in the water. cannot be used to replace uv lamp because the uv sterilizer supposed to be kept in cupboard. if placed out in the open can really damage your eyesight. dangerous
if you want to buy a uv lamp and thinking on the budget side, im thinking of buying some parts and DIY my own this weekend. the bulb itself of course will buy reptiglo 5.0. RM40 - RM50 i think. once finished i will post some updates

don't forget the money spent on initial setup, especially if housing indoors. uv lamp, basking lamp, aquarium , etc

I've just transferred my malayan box to his/her (dont know the sex) new home. a custom made 3 feet aquarium. I think its been one month now since i found it inside the longkang beside my house.

this is the first time i've seen it swimming, and immediately i noticed something peculiar.
whenever it swims, or stays immobile inside the water, its body seems to be slanted(senget) a bit to the right (macam berat sebelah). should this be of concern?

Mine, I feed once every two days coz I read somewhere that they grow faster if they eat more. I sort of double the amount I feed him so I guess it makes up for him not eating every day.

RES normal growth would reach 4 inch SCL in 1 year

like uzairi said, pellets contain imbalance diet and its not good for TTT, feed them once in a while, too much protein causes overgrowth..
