hahaha....

This is true, added that their most active time is afternoon.

I just terbalikkan the tank and wash it. Turtles were running here and there that time, me n my bro kejar each of them. Then i refill the tank back with water and place them back inside.

True that tortoise are heavier than turtles. They also sleep most of the time since they dont need to find water and food.

hahaaa! coz' food and water are provided by the keeper!

i did de same thing when washing my tank... just terbalikkan de tank and wash... clean as new... hehe... and it's good to have no gravels inside... makes it much more easy to wash... tis applies to those water based turtles...

tortoises leh?? u all need not wash de tank?? last time i i pet hamsters need to wash their tank coz' their shits and urines stinks!

here's another rear shot of my RES stacking up on each other coz got no more dry land beside on top of tat small piece of rock... hahaaa!!

every night, i'll take a look at them b4 i sleep. usually they will sleep earlier than me. can remember, not that hard

my bubu aquirium, nearly 2 months didn't change/wash. still no smell.
i think is because i remove their shit and often sun bath them. when under the sun, the think the aquirium less smell

gheng la ur turtle... can stack up like tat

walau... 2 months din wash ar??! if my turtles 2 months din changed water ar... i think de turtle will KOed too lor...

i never tot it was so easier to take care of... but when u sun them, tat really shoo de stinks off...

only RES can stacks... others can't... even de flat softshells oso cant stack or they don wanna stack... hehe...

my stars try to stack... but will never jadi. their shell too round. will normally terbalik

yalor, i didn't expect the wood bedding to last tat long. like tat very economy

i think the fomula is at the sun tan

Tortoise mah, they dont stink that much compared to turtles. Summore got bedding, open basking lamp the urine and poo dry edi. Smell a bit lah, but after throw no more smell. I change my star's bedding 2 months once.

hey... abt malayan box turtles ar... besides kangkung... wat else do they eat?

wa lau weeyy, every two days have to do that? konfirm i cannot do. balik from work always near dusk. ill need to think a strategy hehe.
BTW for your turtles do you just use tap water or decholrinated salted water?
ermm mine also eats pellets and blood worms. but they really like kangkung. i tried giving him sawi but he doesnt like it. only eat after 2 3 days.
but now i trick him a bit. mix kangkung with sawi. walla, finish semua.

DO you guys know what are the top 5 biggest tortoise? I've been phantasizing. wouldn't it be cool during hari raya, people come to your house and get the shock of their life after seeing a few giant tortoises roaming around your house. . that really is something you dont see everyday. i know i haven't seen it. in fact, i've never even seen a house with baby/juvenile pet tortoises/turtles let alone adults.

i know galapagos and sulcata are among the top 5

Sayasebudak: I use tap water with Aquasafe NH/CL formula.

yes, it would be definately cool...

but don't need giant tortoise also people wow about it. my relatives came, and saw my stars, they are also impressed with them. those that hardly go aquirium will say first time see real tortoise. it feels nice sharing informations to them too

something i found on the internet and want to share with you all, a baby star on a galapagos head...

found from here.

I feed mine with pellets and feeding fish aside from kangkung.

1. Galapagos Tortoise (South America)
2. Aldabra Tortoise (African)
3. Sulcata Tortoise (African)
4. Leopard Tortoise (African)
5. Burmese Mountain Tortoise (Asian)

thx for de link titan...

Ally snapper quite big, and how fast they grow depends on their diet. If u feed them meat, they will grow big quite fast. If u feet them with fishes, they will grow a bit slow.

Predator is around 12 Inch SCL, Hunter is 4 Inch SCL. He(predator) is around 5-6 Years now whereas hunter is just around 2 years old.

wa, 12 inch

so how big is your biggest turtle and tortoise?

whoa... 5-6years and it's 12"... not bad oso ha... hehe... coz' de problem is i stay in an apartment... and if it's too big it's hard for me to have place for them u see... unless when it grow super big d... i gave it to uzairi lor... hahaaa!!
