if u don a basking turtle... i would recommend u getting a musk turtle instead... they don bask and they luv de dark! hahaaa!

neway, anyone here mixes fish and turtles?? wat fish is best wif turtles ar?? hehe... without each of them hurting their ownself or vice-versa?

i'm still here all the time, checkin this thread once a day (if possible)

about to make a post today... 'D' for Delta just pass away yesterday night
he didn't eat for nearly 1 week
now the ABCDE gang is incomplete. lucky the rest are still ok
maybe have to change the gang name to TMNT

my sulcata is still an eating monster and shit real lot

Ive seen RES that big too. They can be bigger than the helmet sometimes.

Well, for starters i can suggest u to bask it. Then feed with good pellets such as Nutrafin.

I always put rm1 worth of fish which is around 15 of the feeding fish inside my small ally snapper. Tomorrow i woke up left half only.

Sad to hear about Delta.

How's Titan ? Must be bigger by now.

suprisingly my wife lagi sad...

titan still good. size i think bigger...

Your wife sure close to them already. Time to get a replacement. I wonder how it feels to have one of the largest tortoise on earth.

it sure feels cool to have a soon to be large tortoise...

my guest that visits us, are impress with it now... can't imagine, when it is a giant

Yeah, i say feel that too. Coz i got 2 adult Asian Giant Pond Turtle and was so excited about it. Sulcata sure more excited.

titan! Long time no see man...so sorry to hear bout Delta...dont be too upset, send regards to your wifey...anyway glad to know your others are doing great. Having a giant tortoise roaming at home is sure nice Who wouldnt like it?

Uzairi, any new asian turtles you found lately?

Kamekame.

Umm Hi....I am interested in getting an Alligator Snapping Turtle (preferably hatchling), anyone can point me to the right direction? I am staying in PJ and I have been to a couple of reputed pet stores (88 pet store, Irene Aquarium, and a few others) and all I have found are common snappers.

Would any of the members here recommend a place to purchase one and around how much damage am I going to be looking at?

Thanks in advance for all and any feedback!!

Cheers!

if u find any... damage wud probably be > RM200 for a hatchling... hehe... good choice... very coOL attitude turtle...

soli to hear about de loss titan...

so, besides feeder fish in de tank... any deco fishes tat suits being in de same tank as my musk?? hehe...

lol. snapper eat fish? lols

how bout RES with fish?

Currently no, no money to go out.

Firstly, caring an Ally Snapper is not as easy as it looks. I would recommend you to get other turtles first and then slowly increase the turtle level. That way is much better.

For now, there's no stock for juvenile ally. There's only adult ally which were selling at around rm1k each.

Cool attitude ? Wait till u have one, you'll know how 'cool' they are.

Yeah, they eat fish. About RES, my adult RES eat fishes too. I feed them once in a week with feeding fish and they just love it.

i wud say a common snapper are more agressive than de ally snapper... as they have a longer neck hence can attack our hand easier... they haf de 'attack power' or izzit called 'striking distance'??

Saw 2 in Pet Safari/ Ikano 1wk ago
RM500 ea.


If u r keen on a FLY RIVER TURTLE aka. Pig Nose, pls PM me....

Hi uzairi,

Would you mind sharing with me the difficulties of owning an Ally Snapper? I had a common snapper for around 2 years until I left to further my studies and it was given away to someone, are they very different in terms of caring for? Frankly, I have no interest in any other turtles, but I am willing to hear out why it is a difficult breed to care for. I definitely do not wish to turn out as a irresponsible pet owner and thus I would like to gather a little more feedback before I commit myself.

I apologize in advance for asking so many questions, but I do thank you all for the replies thus far and I am looking forward to getting more feedback from you all here.

Cheers!

They are not aggressive as ally snapper. The common snapper are just more active compared the ally snapper.

Since you have a common snapper last time, then i don't think its hard for you. They are roughly the same just that they differ in the way they eat and how active they are. Ally snappers are more aggressive compared to common snapper. And they don't chase their food like how common snapper did. They need a good filtration system to prevent algae build up on their carapace. Try to avoid handling them as they can be quite aggressive and might snap you finger off easily. Other than that i don't think there's anything left.
