Don't forget parasites... out door tortoises prone to internal parasites and external as well, like ticks....

Black Breasted Leaf Turtle Caresheet -->
http://www.chelonia.org/articles/Gspenglericare.htm

How to mate ? 1 Adult Male, 1 Baby Unknown gender. Maybe can pair mine with Eujax. But they are very agressive when mating. Need more bigger tank. I got no place anymore already.

dudes... is black breasted leaf turtles oso being called autumn leaf tortoise? dry type and not water based wan, rite wif it's carapace like a leafs??

if tat's de one... i saw a new pet shop in carrefour, Kepong namely petsmore have 4 autumn leaf tortoises as labelled and cost RM88/pc... cheap, rite...

yo, your tortise damn big... how much u bought it ?
i jus got 2 star tortise back in my hometown...
now dunno how they r coz long time dinnt go back

sulcata is very very expensive... i mean for a student like me... a small one, i heard come around rm400++ if not mistaken.

Not sure about the other name, does it look the same like the picture given earlier ?

thanks for the new location. i'll drop to have a look. seems like getting more and more pet shops with tortoise / turtle

that album is not my sulcata. it's the title of somebody else's sulcata. mine is still very small. Long way to go before will reach that size. u can see mine in my avatar

current market price in kl pet shop, price tag $480 to $550

don't worry, u will work sooner or later... Then ma got money to buy lo. Only hope they don't put a ban for selling tortoise here. I think is a sooner or later issue

ekiddie, there is no 'Autumn Leaf Turtle'. Most probably its simply named by the shop people. But i believe it is the Black Breasted Leaf as RM88 is very close to its pricing now. Thanks for sharing. If you can get me a picture it would be great. Cheers.


Regards

Yeah, since suddenly most the the pet shops having those black breasted leaf turtle. Maybe current stock they planned to release to public. Hurmm..

JAXEU!!!!

I found one vege that my RES finally will eat. well not vege actually but one of my aquarium plants. i think it's called anacharis. RM1.50 for one tie (has 4 to 5 stems). not that expensive but still not as cheap as kangkung . BTW, i wonder if it is sufficient to just provide this type of plant in replace of veges?

yeah... i wud haf tot so and if i got a hpcam, i'm sure i can snap it... but sad to say... i don have a hpcam... hmm... sometimes it's quite useful too tho... gotto plan to get one ler...

O... so tat's de black breasted leaf turtles u guys are talking about lar... RM88 only... hehe... but sad to say... they just put those 4 turtles in de plastic container and NO basking light at all... don say basking light... fluorosent light oso tarak! hmm... maybe it's still new... or anyone in here wanna pet it back home?

i still wants a hatchling snapping turts ler... anyone?

sayasebuk... i can't see de pic u posted up abt de plant... wat plant is tat? can repost de pic again?

That one should not be used as a daily food. Just for stuff for them to play or for fun.

Uzairi thank you for the link to caresheets of the Black Breasted Leaf...so have anyone gotten it? Eujax?

ekiddie the 4 you saw there at kepong...do they look healthy? And the price boleh kurang ka? but from what you describe they prob wont be in good shape me beginner takut laa dont know can handle not...anyway thanks for informing us.



Kamekame.

actually im thinking of rearing a tortoise, but what kind of tortoise is more suitable to stay outdoor, to walk freely at a compound?

For a beginner, i suggest u to start with an Elongated Tortoise. They can tolerate outdoor and humidity better. Just that make sure to make your compound predator free. Welcome to the club.

guys, check out today's nst page 14 prime news

malaysians 'fund' illegal exotic wildlife trade

the writter even spy a few shops including pets family

they mention tortoise is quite common...

Hope they don't put a ban

Is it because they do not contain enough nutrients? or because the turtles do not really eat but rather just gigit2 saja
to be safe try and get a tortoise thats already adult size and huge (but hard to find at pet shop plus must cost a bomb). Reason is adult are more hardy plus shell already super hard so dont have to worry so much of predators.
ayark, seems like the nightmare (exotic pet ban) is starting to become more and more a reality

when they mean malaysians, here in lowyat.net, we got quite a number of investors putting their 'funds' in

if 'someone' here wants to have legal turtle/tortoise farm, not easy dream... wonder how to get the license approved

sigh... If like SG our tortoise should go into hiding. I wonder is it illegal to keep them?

I have a question. If the shell looks dented in and/or curved inwards, is that a normal sign?
