i'm not sure... but wow, it is sure big

btw, can you show us their home?

UPM_Parasite: No leh. Actually all my colleagues come over to my desk to play with Tortue. They say it really helps them to destress and relax. ^^

am thinking of bringing my turtles to see a vet. do you guys know any vet that can treat turtles? i live in kajang btw

Tortue is so cute la! He tertidur on the basking rock with one leg stretched out and his head resting on the surface.

this kind of moment should take photograph ma and post here

btw, i just left eighty-eight aquirium at subang branch. They have:-
2 sulcata hatchling at $480
2 star hatchling at $90
3 juvenile star at $120 to $160
3 juvenile russian at $680

when i was looking at the juvenile star, suddenly heard a sneeze. Then i saw water coming out of the star's nose. It must be sick. Kena RNS

just left anothe eighty-eight branch pju 1/3d

they have:-
9 juvenile star at $120 to $160
9 hatchling star at $95
2 juvenile pancake not for sale
4 juvenile russian at $680
1 hatchling leopard at $480
2 juvenile hinge-back at $320
6 juvenile western pan turtle at $380
4 juvenile african helmet turtle at $150
2 juvenile african mud turtle at $150

Both of them need to eat more protein based food like pellets. I suggest u feed them good pellets like Nutrafin Basix or Ocean Free's Turtle Pellets. Also dont forget to sun them whenever u can ok ? They will recover but it will take some time. I did that to mine last time on my Malayan Box and they are ok now.

Where's this shop located ? I only go to the subang branch before.

It's very near to Dataran Prima

juvenile around 6cm to 12cm

mine don't really like the leaves...

wah, ppl leng chai wor...

Buddy, your Box Turtle is fine but your RES is in pretty bad condition especially the one in the bottom picture. The white colour spots on its carapace is caused by fungus attack. It may never recover as far as i i know as it has already been quite serious. I suggest you separate them immediately.

Water is very important and basking spots are almost a must when in comes to turtles imho. Hope your turtle can cure though.

Uzairi, i got it from a friend so pretty good deal, as he only have one and its wild caught. Paid RM50 for it. Am looking for another one but have never seen any before so far. I've seen Malayan Snail Eaters but not this one.


Regards

p/s btw those Common musk turtle is available in Ikano pet world. Saw it just now.Dont know how much, no price tag. And they have some 'big tortoises' as well! Not sure what they are but i think could be the Asian Brown tortoise. Got a few Elongated Tortoise as well. A lot of Star tortoise too but bigger ones not hatchlings....RM200 and aboce i think.
