What happend to your toitoise leh until bring to Vet?
I never bring any tortoise, but other pets like cat, dogs rabbits & etc got lah...
Anyway, the charge is depends on the Vets & the pet sickness like how serius the sickness & etc.

my ST still have RNS i think.actually become better oledi.each of them seems in good condition,active and really have appetite now.just a little hingus when they woke up from sleep.but i didnt satisfied with that,need to take them to vet before i go back to my hometown..after exam lah..

I didnt bring mine to Vet when they kena RNS before. Just sunbath them everyday, opened basking lamp from 12pm to 12am then maintain the humidity 40 - 60 by using Heat Wafe... Feed them with vitamins too. But its take sometime to cure lah. I think this natural way is much better than send them to Vet because what i know, not many vet know how to handle the tortoise.

i also think that..because it can increase antibody naturally.that y i refuse to use some drug to cure them before..but i just to see vet to confirm that my ST free from any disease.they only my baby now,since my future wife look after our hamster,ha3,and my bunny at my hometown.so must give more treat and attention lah.but is it ok if we handle our ST too much?or it make them stress?

IINM it was referred as melanistic RES, which happens to some of the old male RES in general.

Added more info about melanism

Melanism and abundism are often the result of genetic mutation, but can result from other stimuli, such as exposure to abnormal temperature changes during gestation which transiently alter gene transcription or translation.

selain sawi and pallet what should I feed my RES? I just feed my RES with sawi everyday and pallet once a week.

Sawi everyday ?? A varied diet is the way to go for all animals !! I will preefer pellets everyday and sawi in between will be a better choice !! As pellets has more needed minerials and protein for growth But lack natural fibers !!!

I feed mine with kangkung alternately with those turtle pellets and occasionally some feeding fish as treats.

Mine also like that.... i think that is the way they sleep lor...
