i guess so ler... i guess tat time shud be 1 or 2 years back! hahaaa!! neway, nowadays where can find mata mata d... i think they probably extinct d... hai~

They can get mites & leech(lintah). So we need to check regularly for those parasites especially if you're housing them outdoors.

The descriptions reflects Black Breasted Leaf turtle. Price and characteristics is almost the same.

Not extinct yet, they were keeping it so the price is stable.

Ohh who is selling them ? And where?

What colour is it ? How small? hehhe...love to see new turtles...

i'm waiting for de breeding season of ally snapper lar... so tat i won't be getting a cut throat price...

not tat i desperately need it, rite... some i see are hiking de price WAAAYY high O...

They wont release so much hatchlings in 1 time, furthermore now those exotic pets are harder to smuggled in hence making them keeping those stocks and jacking the price up.

Just came back from Jalan Pasar, lots of Malayan Box turtle and Red Eared Slider, 1 sick Asian Leaf turtle and 1 Yellow Bellied Slider. Lots of people there since lots of people selling stuff there. Tired man..

Thanks for the link Uzairi! That is one cool turtle! Wow..i never thought we could get those in Malaysia RM900... still way to go for me....and i believe its not the easiest turtle to take care of...hahah...susah susah...

Got any smaller Malayan Box at Jln Pasar? How much are they? Your the man laa Uzairi!



kamekame.

de malayan box in jalan pasar all are adult... no smaller tho... btw uzairi... did u ask how much are they selling? i din ask de price and they are under de sun most of de time...

Mata-mata is considered softshelled and they are quite difficult to take care. It takes a lot of knowledge and experience to get them in shape.

About the small boxie, the one i saw 2 weeks back already gone. My fren said ppl buy all to make medicine and they come from as far as northern region.

They are selling for rm20 each averagely. Depends on the size and the uniqueness of individual turtles itself.

LOL, pardon me for accidentally using my brother's nick again. My bad.

Ohh shit! My small boxie is gonna turn into medicine

Is matamata a species of softshell? I see the carapace like hard hard wan?

They carapace looks hard but they are not that hard.

Sorry to hear that. Why both of them died ? Not eating ? I can feel what u felt since ive experienced this kind of situation and more of them died. Be strong my fren, im sure you'll gonna get thru this.

We dont need normal heaters since we can use the basking lamp to heat up the environment.

O... coz' i din use any basking light... my musk really don like brightness much... they like it more in de dark... and de water are alwiz cold being near de window... hmm... so tat's why i tot of getting a submersible heater...

I recommended Eheim's underwater heater. Around rm70 for a small one, durable and reliable.

alrite... will check it out on tat... thanks for ur recommendation on a start to survey for me... hehe... heater are quite expensive eh... tot small small thing won't cost much...

neway, u've used tat b4?

So sorry to hear that eujax...dont be too sad. Best of luck and best of health to you and all your turtles. I am sure i gave them good care and everything but livestock is livestock lor...sometimes difficult to see their life status i guess? Just dont be too sad, be cool my friend we are all here with you!
