Eujax, thats a nice photo of your Flatshell turtle

Buy snail do what arr? Let turtle eat?

I will think about Malayan Box if i can find a smaller one i dont mind...tak payah hatchling laa...juvenile pun boleh

Uzairi, wahh your friend had hatch the box turtle? He wanna sell not?



Kamekame.

Not sure about that. Havent seen it myself. My Malayan Boxie does lay egg this year but all were crushed by them since they lay their eggs inside the water. And there's 2 that i managed to save but the temperature i use to incubate them is not correct and the egg stopped developing.

He didnt sell, he's doing a conservation program. Some he kept and some he sets free to wild. That's what im trying to do also. Maybe if there's lots of CB specimen they wont take the WC specimen again. So by that time we need to put a lot of effort to make it a success.

see whether can anyone tells their experience of bringing a herps to see vet... hehe...

guys... is tis worm OK for musk ka?? anyone wif experience on this?



i tried one... and my razors luv 'em... but de size of de worm is quite big for my razors... yet he can finish it all... just would like to ask is there any harm of this worm to my turtles?

kamekame... a malayan box is nice... get it... and yeah, snails for my turtles... hehe... gotto eat more eat for energy mar...

I think the worm is okay. Lots of protein tho. I might wanna try feed my Asian Leaf with it since they are not eating at all and i got no idea where to get earthworms.

yeah it should be ok but there is still a risk of impaction. always remember that mealworms have hard indigestable exoskeletons.

Things that cannot be digested will come out as their poo.

but as i see it... they love it... moreover they don float... as i see musk are 'not so' smart tho... sometimes, when i dumped in floating sticks... they can't see it... duH!

this worms submerse under de water and they saw it and grab it right away... good for bottom walking turtles....

but can't feed alot i think as i see 1 is more than enuff d seeing de musk's size...

Yeah, i think they are good for those type of turtles. Later gonna go to LFS to get this mealworms and see wether my Asian Leaf loves it or not.

I wonder if Tortue will eat them (those are mealworms).

Wow... that is interesting, I've never seen before also.

Nice turtle there. How much u bought it ? I'll check what turtle is that and tell u guys when i got the answer, need to search what species is that. Dont wait for me as its time consuming to check it. I'll post the name as soon as i got it. But it looks like a Mississippi Map Turtle to me.

i'm sure tat's a painted turtle... i saw tat b4 in aquarium shop... very cute... small small tiny2... nice coloring too... it haf orange spots beneath it, rite zoidx? u bought tat? nice!

Confirmed Chrysemys Picta Picta @ Eastern Painted Turtle is the correct answer. I just noticed the orange colour at the carapace coz i didnt click at the pic and zoom it. Btw the head does really like a Barbour's Map and looking at too many of those lookalike turtles makes my head confused. Ive seen those painted selling at quite high price for a juvenile which is around rm2++ with superb colouration.

Oops, that was me. Accidentally used my brother's account again.

thanks for the info guys
i bought it for rm55 & it was labeled as 'jin gui' turtle
here is a bottom shot:
