RM68 the lowest i've seen. buy at least 5-10 i think can get rm50, haggle a bit.

why wanna rush to have a star at RM50 when the husbandry costs much more? save some more 1st, get bigger specimen and proper setup.

Like what camillenoir said, better to save more and buy the bigger specimen as they are more hardy and less prone to fall sick. No point buying them cheap and might endup dead 1 months later. There's a friend of mine here who bought 5 small ones and i think 2 of them died. Another case where 2 of his only star tortoise died. Both of them having those rm68 specimens FYI.

Yup, its better if you get those rm168 ones which is around 3 inches.

yes, very true
all my 5 baby star die one by one. the last one just died

so sad...
i've done all i can and the necessary to keep them healthy.
they just don't want to eat

and all died with soft shell. problem is not eating the food

now left my sulcata (which touch wood, healthy)

well, if can afford only 1 first then get 1 first. I do wish to keep another but space for 2 stars is gonna be hard... I don't want my current star to have less space. Also I think my mom would freak if I get another star hahaahh.

good price... i might tempted to add some more to my collection...

anyway, where is the ss2 morning market located?

Hi all,

for your info.

current price of 3" st in ss2 morning market rm80 (after bargaining).
Item on display this fri & sat. told by the seller.

Hmm.. yep.. Opuntia Cacti indeed is an ideal diet.

Opuntia cacti - a plant typically rich in calcium with a very high Ca:P ratio, taken from http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/calcium.htm

Guess I've to search for this at nursery to plant it myself, haha. Difficult to grow?

RM50 for Star Tort? I think Pasar Pudu can get around RM60 - 70. You can always haggle for the price there.

Hmmm.. does anyone know the normal prices for Elongated Tortoise? Saw 2 of them last month nearby Brickfields. Size is around 3 inches and selling for RM350 each. Not sure this price is consider cheap or expensive. Planning to get new tortoises to accompany my 2 star tortoises. Still wishing can find Leopard Tortoise.

please avoid discussing about bulking here.
