What are they chewing anyway ?
Everyone's on exam week i supposed, including me. LOL. Thanks for the wishes.
Yeah, but breeding turtles/tortoise is a bit hard. Will try my best to make it a successfull breeding project.
p/s: Btw, i just came across a wild Asian Leaf Turtles on my way back to cyberjaya. A female, quite big, bigger than any Asian Leaf i had.

I took it home and wash it and feed it. There's a lot of them here, just that they are inside the forest next to the road. I wonder where they'd go if the government cut all those trees and develop cyberjaya even more.

Where did you specifically found them? Which forest? I work in cyberjaya but never noticed one.

Well, it seems that ure not giving it the right foods. I wonder why, mine was healthy even without basking them under the sun. Only pellets and the shell is strong. I feed mine with Nutrafin Basix and Sanyu turtle sticks.

and yes... i don sun them either... they grew well without any problem... hmm... i oso just feed my RES turtle pellets and some veges... mostly cabbage...
neway, would wanna ask haf anyone here had a problem wif their turtles growing algae/fungus on their carapace? mine did! hmm... and i never had this problem b4 but now... why and what's de cause?
here's how it looks like...

it's my noti lil' stinkpot... hehe...

If you guys dont sun them then do you provide your RES with uv bulb?

. If dont then maye just provide calcium food is enough
algae on the carapace is confirmed because of the water quality. not really a problem because in the wild this acts as camouflage. but as a pet, of course dont look nice la

ekiddie, better watch out as Musk turtles tend to snap whenever being held up.
crazymouse, if you got the picture from Pet Family then its a Razorback Musk. LoggerHead Musk have an orange plastron whereas Razorback Musk dont.
Here is two more picts of my Black Breasted Leaf turtle...and a plastron shot for you Kamekame. Cheers.
Regards
waa very nicee
