88 mart ahh? They sell diff things there but not heat wave @_@. Hehe

wah lao... can grow that big ah?
The shell very nice.... Doesn't look like a turtle... looks more like tortoise dy.

yeah i do, official lah.

hey guys. im thinking of making a small grass lawn in a box for an outdoor enclosure. what kinda soil should i use that wont be harmfull to my baby star tortoise??

(Off topic) Wahhhh, not expensive meh? Got bulwhark yet? hehe. My torts... got natural sunlight to bask, hehe. And my RES also eats algae that's created in my dad's fish pond =D. So they help us out with cleaning =D. I do also feed them pellets, longkang fish, and some crix once in awhile ( when my beardies dun finish )

no...its bcoz 88mart only 1feet away from pet family taman megah.......
thats y i
m sooo mad bcoz i forgot to visit pets family as well.....

Hah? no la, 88 nearby hehe. not 1 feet @_@

basic of new outdoor enclosure. the grass is like a carpet and was bought from a flower shop. gonna further beatify it. xD


Btw, where do i get this??

Garden shops sell those, unless you get a broken flower pot la

i want the woody shape eh. looks natural and nice. im from penang, hard to find

@_@... flower pot can. But since you want the woody shape , garden shops should sell. Eh, the grass must water it everyday hor?

i guess. i jst bought it. i got indoor tank for star.. its 2 feet x 1 feet. this outdoor, not sure of the measurement. now gonna update pics

latest pictures. my star seems to be enjoying the outdoor enclosure as it's grazing all around. =)

Move the stones... lol, your star might not be able to get up @_@

ohh.. the stones are like a ladder to it. otherwise would be harder to get up. xD btw, bout the wood chip thing, any solution??

If they will come out just let it be - Soaking them more often do help ie 1-2 times daily !!!
Previous owner / keeper/seller must have kept them on wood chip/shaving ( what a bad choice for beeding ) .............

I think only 'SOHAI' who dont know take care of stars. I was kept ST for almost 10 years before. Dont face any major problem at all
But now i allready retired & gave away all the star to other people

In Penang, you guys can get the JBL Heat Wave Bulb at CTY Aquarium at Jln. Burma there.
Last 2 weeks, I saw in Pet Safari Taman Megah got sell Exo-Terra Heat Wave Bulb ( 40w ). They still have around 5 blubs.
Or you can try contact Chris Nonono to asked for the JBL Heat Wave Bulb

Good Luck

why never give me?

Looks like what your trying to say to me is that i am SOHAI? =-

Guise, what's the difference Star Tortoise and Leopard Tortoise??
Leopard mahal giler.... RM600 !!!

Both also not so easy to care for , Sulcata will be a better choice
But there are other more tropical sp ie Elongata , Red Footed ..... that do not need special heating n can be housed outdoor after a certain size !!
