owh tq for the answer.can i sunbath them at night?how long if i use that uvb lamp~

Are the four RES your first RES or have you had other RES before as I have seen many adult RES be them Male or female NO male RES has a concave plastron
That link is just teaching you to sex M and F turtle in general not just slider species
Pls do post your RES 's plastron pic (the concave part ) would really love to see that (eye opener )

Thanks

Impressas, impressas, impressas.

That is correct. Do you keep impressas as well?

Cheers

erm...i just bought 2 green tortise...donno wat species are they.

i have a problem now. they seems don want to eat...how can i treat them?

tqtq

i think they are still not used to the new home.
now they are only about 5-6cm long

Update on my RES 2 1/2 feet tank. removed the driftwood. result in cleaner water.
also add a fake plant and built a new basking area

Updates on my 3 feet malayan box setup. removed the driftwood and covered the peat moss with real grass and some stones. results in cleaner water, plus easier to clean  . for my previous setup, go to my pet album

do they chew silicone? if im not mistaken even aquarium tanks are using silicone to hold the glass together. Never saw them chew it. Since the silicone is non-toxic i guess the danger would just be impaction right?

They might chew on the silicon surface which are accessible to them the best they can do to the tank's silicon are to claw them out but RES and Boxie are not strong enough (both type of Snapper on the other hand are strong enough to clawed out the silicon holding the tank )

finally i got my radiated ^^

Howdy,

New here to TTT thread. Just got myself 2red eared slider, one male and one female. Still thinking of what to name them. Before this i had 4-5same red eared slider, but all went to heaven ord . Hope i can get good infos from fellow LYN members here...

One question here...

If one day u feel that u can't take care of ur babies, and would like to free them, where's the suitable place to do it without them getting hurt?

Aiya...not more than 1week, one ord died. Become like stone (hard) with the hand and leg out, and i check it's stomach, no sign of breathing. So sad. I duno why, but since i bought it, it always sleep and sleep n sleep, and not active. Maybe ord sick, i duno. The other one is very active until now. Sigh...left one without partner.

the white board is actually ceramic tile which is turned up side down, it's good for tortoise dining place, and the rough surface is good for trimming tortoise's nails.

and regarding your star head, usually star tortoise will knock their head up n down when they get nervous

budget is not an issue, as long as love at first sight

but i'm looking for not too big ones la

Hi titan, crazymouse & others,

thanks for sharing your experiences.

Looks pretty grim for the babies ...

Then who has some sucessfully stories on stars  ?

sad... they used to be so much fun. eating, playing together... sigh

anyway, my sulcata is much easier to care. he just eat eat eat. his tank is next to star... so the temperature and humidity should be the same... food also the same (only sawi from day 1 and some calcium powder once in a while)

it is also very active. it digs a lot. it knocks on the tank to remind me food is needed

galapagos got sell meh? anyone saw it local b4?
