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...

Yes 'water fish' or 'sui yee' is one type of softshell. I like Florida Softshell...kicking myself for not getting it earlier when they are available in pet shops
Regards

ya... chinese ate those softshells turtles and served it in soup... errkss... so, are they 'chinese softshells'?? hahaaa! still no answer on that...

i got my softshell as wat they called 'water fish' d... it's very active tho... tho just hatchling... they got a very long neck than i expect too... and from alot of sites on softshells... they are an agressive turtles to handle... anyone here had pet it till adult?

eujax... no... haven't bumped into any stinkpot yet... if u do, do lemme know okie! thx... hehe... and i think my razors too do have some stinks on them... it's their defense i think when being handled... but does stinkpot 'really' stinks as much as it's name?

florida softshells? any difference? got pics? hehe...

de other day i went to Ikano and i saw an albino softshell for sale... then the coming week i went there again and wat left was just the empty aquarium... SOLD! who bought it?? anyone in here?

That's a Longer Head Musk.
Never. Why ? coz i dont think anyone would want to be bitten by any snappers. They have a very strong beak and enormous strength. If they bite, more likely ur flesh will be gone. Worst, finger gonna be missing.

so do u think a star is jus nice for me now... or any recommendation?? thanxx

Yeah, actually its okay to get a Star but half of them suffer from dead tortoise. Some because lack of care and some died because of metabolic bone desease and this one cant be avoided. So if u dare to take the risk, why not aite ? 

And guys, my fren just said they have chitra chitra in stock, Rm650 for 4-5 inch specimen. Anybody interested ? Some of Chitra-Chitra's pic. --> http://www.chelonia.org/chitra_gallery.htm

Okay, sure.

Here's the pic i promised to you Leviathan. Sorry for the delay.Only now i can transfer the pic. Been waiting from Noon till now to get into my Photobucket but always error.    Stupid streamyx.

Pelochelys bibroni(Asian Giant Softshelled Turtle) or Chitra chitra(Striped Narrow Headed Soft Shell turtle) might be that turtle. They both looks almost the same. No doubt about the giants(Pelochelys) there was a huge specimen, so might be Pelochelys since they can grow very big. Nice turtle i must say, someone offered me Chitra Chitra before but im not interested.

Thanks dude. THAT THE TURTLE i was talking about. SO MANY of my friends overlooked that section and I was frustrated trying to explain to them about this turtle.......

Hi guys...went to Ikano just now and saw an Impressed Tortoise!! Never seen before mar...but then, when a guy asked to take it out have a look, its dead!! Pityful...such a nice tortoise! One must really see it to appreciate its beauty. The golden colour carapace is...phew!

Anyway Merry Christmas to all! Happy New Year!
Kamekame.
