Yup, exactly. They can grow quite big, why not consider a star tortoise ? They are beautiful too.

heheh still prefer the Sulcata Tortoise hatchlings. they looks clean n lighter colors.. i like the boxes on their back.

Yeah, ppl like it when they are small. But when they're big ? They can grow big quite fast.

titan... and u even knew tat upmparasite stole b4 ha? bet u n him partner in crime! hahaaa!!

and nezumitaro... do hope u'll like it too when they grow BIG as alot of ppl like it when they are small and when they have grow up... it's not being like anymore... de good example is RES... poor turtles...

ciaO~

no worries, if i really take them home, i will love them till the end of the day, no matter how big or urgly they grow. but just fall in love at the 1st sign when i saw them. the rest of the day will more in bonding than beauty i think. am not that kind of see cute take home, then throw them aside when they grow. thats y it always make me take a long time to re-think if i want to take them home.. even one hamster, one betta fish....

3rd largest tortoise in the world

i like not only the shell, but also the way it stands and walk. it is very manly, compared to star. the way it pos... chun

i was refering to hibiscus
but i hope u are not intending to go to some park and fish RES...

btw, speaking of hibiscus, how to plant it ah? i tried to cut the branch and plant, one week liao, still no new leave. i think it is dead

i also fall in love with sulcata at first sight. did some research, lagi fall in love

btw, sulcata will most probably live longer than any of us in this forum and anyone birth today... if taken care properly, a sulcata can live for more than 100+ years old... so in future, have to train grandchildren to take care

yes yes agree!!!! walk also so macho!! when i see them, i also tot waw looks like those 1000 yr old tortoise!!! the legs are sooo nice.. wawwww long life oh... but if they grow so big, where to keep? if they r so long life, $700 also not expensive loh... yiiiii itchy hand now... hahahha... really beautiful felas..

when they are big will they big? do they recognise owner?

Are JBL pellets not as good as nutrafin? i went to natural aquatic yesterday and looked at the ingredients for nutrafin, nothing different.
that is called algae bloom. i think the only reason is if it has access to sunlight, eventhough under shade and no direct sunlight, still have the same effect.
hahaha sound familiar. whenever i want to go to petshop, i never let my wife to tag alone. more stressless and free


i think not the same. i have juvenile malayan box turtle but no hatclings one. i will post the picture in a while

crazymouse_yyh leng lui, sorry lah.
wanna ask, after we quote the post, actually it will automaticly combine, or you the one edit it?

now if u want to buy, a few pet shops have... ranging from RM480 to RM500.

where to keep then ah... have to decide when time comes... lucky i have space at my house... can keep outside... but that will be like 7 to 8 years more to go

recognise owner? i m not sure, but they sure recognise food... cause when i bring food, they will come to me

how big is big?

Sayasebudak: You have to feed other stuff apart from just pellets to make sure RES grows up with a good strong shell - especially if you don't sun him.

I haven't exactly been sunning Tortue since it's hazy and busy times at work but I make up for it by giving him D3 supplement (dropped into the water) (by Exo Terra) at least once every two weeks and a lot of calcium-rich foods like Sera Raffy-1, shrimp and Sera Raffy Baby. I give him a mix of Tetra Repto-min (has added vits and 3.3% calcium) and Sera Raffy Baby-Gran.

He loves Sera Raffy-1 - I think because they are crunchy - look like shrimp shells. Just this morning I decided to examine the shell to see if it's hard and alright - in better shape than my fingernails, I'd say.

Btw, those with RES, have you noticed some white, nearly transclucent stuff hanging off your RES's face/legs? I suspect Tortue is shedding but I don't know for sure.

ps: Found a pretty good site for RES: http://reslider.free.fr/en/index.html
