ekiddie, i dont know exactly what is that on your Razorback but i believe it is like what the others said, some sort of algae thing. Did you keep your water circulating ie a filter pump? Water cleanliness is the best key.

People, that Impressa is not mine and i have no idea what causes its death but as you know, they are the most difficult tortoise one can take care of. I believe it started with stress and later refuse to eat and during the transport from Cameron, it has developed illness. When it comes to shop, it didnt make it till the end. Sad yes i am sad. Recently, in one week in fact, i have known two dead Impressa. Not funny.

Thanks all for your kind words anyway Great to be part of this community.

A simple question, do anyone here prefer Leopard Tortoise over Star Tortoise? It seems like less people are into Leopard Tortoise....why?



Regards

The price I would say... leopard more expensive than star... oh, I wanted a leopard but coz money tak da, get star loh heheeh...

bulletin utama show a fella wif porcupine being caught?? ha?? got meH?? actually, in malaysia is there any law saying tat we CAN'T own exotic animals??

eujax... ya, i think de one sticking on my razorback's carapace shud be wat they said... some algae or dirt... will clean it everytime i see it... ei, where can i buy de stinkpot or others musk turtles ar?? i'm very interested... hehe...

dai86... nice stars... infact, i luv tortoises too... they are way so cute but then i live in an apartment... i really haf no space for them... moreover they will need direct sunlight... i just can't pet them... i don want to kill them and not helping them to a better life if i pet them over...

Actually, it is illegal to catch wild animals and take them as pets in Malaysia... but our law still a bit slow loh.

Soon, star tortoises may need licence but that was just said, not done yet... I heard it last year summore...

Porcupine and Pangolin, the wild ones in our forest is illegal to keep... if you caught keeping one can kena high fine loh. I dunno bout tortoises and turtles though.... still, we gotta be careful.

if so... i wonder why de law enforcer don go to terrenganu and catch all those buggers tat sell turtle eggs for a meal... duH! sea turtles and getting lesser and lesser and everytime 1000 release... only 1 will survive all the obstacles in de sea... a very high in de list of endangered species... yet they are selling it openly in market... and worst is got ppl buy and eat it!

Actually, they do catch... just cannot catch everyone of them. Also, the enforces dunno when or where the turtles lay eggs, as in their direct spot, so sometimes it's hard for them to monitor. Also, there are more turtle egg stealers than there are enforces...

The price diffference is big, not all can afford it including me.

That's why i never tell anybody what's in my collection.

We know what you have heheh kidding. Anyway thanks for sharing the view about preference of Star to Leopard Tortoise. I am looking forward to get the Leopard...lets see how it goes.

ekiddie, the razorback is available in Ikano Pet Safari now and the Stinkpot i am not sure, i got it from a normal fish shop. Cant remember its name but its the only pair they have so....am not aware of other place.



Regards

thx eujax for ur feedback... i've oledi have the razorbacks... i do want a stinkpot or a loggerhead... any musk turtles but not razors...

nvm then... thx!

hehe.. another thing bout leopard and star... leopard will grow till so huge but not star. thats is why i like star more. hehe... later all tortoise and turtle need lesence then habislah! hehe... uzairi have to pay for..... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! haha...

The Leopard tortoise (Geochelone pardalis) is a large, grazing species of tortoise that favors semi-arid (not dry), thorny to grassland habitats. On average, they are about 40-45 cm (16-18 inches) long and weigh 18-23 kg (40-50 pounds) (although some reach up to 60 cm (24 inches) and 32 kg (70 lbs)). They generally have a life span of 50 years.

yalar, leopard can grow big. and when they grow big, their leopard marking won't be that sharp... star is so much cuter

as said all these tortoise lives on dry land... but in de wild... it does rain and heavy downpour mar, rite... so, where all these guys hide?? wat if flooded? will these fellas died? or de habitats of these tortoise won't have downpour and plain sunlight?

hehe... know nothing much about tortoises tho...

Leopard looks very nice when they are young, not so when they grow up though haahaa i wish i can afford.

Sad to hear bout the impressa, eujax. Hope it rest in peace.



Kamekame.

In the wild, well, most of the land tortoises try to stay on the dry areas.... when rain, if a little is ok, they do enjoy a little rain. If say african and indian tortoises... well, they don't get much rain. But when flood, they drown... no choice. But most of the tortoises will go to higher land sometimes...
