ekiddie: I think they are okay for water turtles. A colleague of mine has some in the same tub where she keeps her RES.

Update: Yup, Tortue is shedding big time. There is a huge patch of dead skin clinging onto his neck but still no signs of the brown patch on his shell going away. On top of that, the grooves on his shell have become deeper...need to ask, how do RES shed their schutes (sp)?

I i recognize them correctly, than i think there should be no problem. I've had them both in my turtle aquariums before. but decided not put anymore. because will easily die and clog my filter. usually because not enough nutrition, or got whacked by the turtles

someone was asking a question about her/his RES eye condition.
i think no one replied or noticed

Updates on my turtle. Went to see a vet at City Pets Serdang last saturday. I brought all three of my turtles.
Findings:
Eventhough the vet is not an exotice/herp vet, she seems to know what she's doing and quite experienced. Apparantly she has received a lot of visits from turtle owners (most of the time from some radiated owners who lives nearby). She gave some antibiotics and shell care stuff. She found nothing wrong with my malayan box turtle. (my box turtle no longer swims lopsided BTW).
All in all i was quite satisfied with the vet. I can see that she likes pet (she kept talking to the turtles) .

BTW since i havent named my turtles (im bad with names), i've decided to call them
abang (malayan box), kakak (older RES) and adik ( younger RES)

That is one nice sulcata.

Which part of Serdang ? And how do u feed them antibiotics ? How much does it costs ?

Forgot to mention, it was only RM15. She gave me some liquid antibiotics to be fed directly to the RES. (if i want to give to the box turtle, should put it into his food since he is not sick). I read somewhere that it is better to inject antibiotics than to feed them. dont know how true though.
The clinic is at serdang raya. its along the road from seri kembangan to K.L when you want to skip sg besi tol (PLUS). The doctor that i met was dr goh. they have 3 doctors i think.
BTW i think confirmla my box turtle is a he

wah... the turtle looks unique... the colour is special

People, i am not sure of the name of the shop in TTDI but if you come from 1U side, after the traffic lights at the cross road, go straight till you come to another traffic light, turn left. Follow the road as it curves to right (at this time, there are row of shophouses on your right) and all the way till you see shop houses on your left,turn left and its in the middle of those shops. I will go there tomorrow again and find out the name.

Sorry titan, i am not good in directing people. Hope you can find it.

Kamekame, they have a pair of juvenile Star tortoise but not for sale. Very nice Star tortoise i must say. They also have a Malayan Flatshell turtle but not for sale either.

Uzairi, i am interested in those Black Breasted Leaf turtles but i'd like to see the actual turtle, possible to arrange? PM me please. Thank you very much.
By the way, i cant open the pictures that you posted. Wanted to see the dead turtle.




Regards

ok, thanks. I roughly know where u are referring

i also can't see the photos

Uzairi, finally can view the pictures you posted. The dead one is a Malayan Flatshell turtle, Notochelys Platynota. Am sure you know it. Hey why the rest all plastron shots only? Give us some shots of the whole turtle buddy Cheers.
