sayasebuk,

Wow, I just checked our pets album and was amazed how your tortoises shell recovered

Good job man

nice bargaining

i think for that low of a price, the petshop wanted to sell off his stock quickly and wash off his hands..

so i guess there is a possiblity that some petshop will sell stars below market price

substrate: those pine/cedar/whatever odorous shavings should be changed ASAP. at the mean time, you could just use newspaper. and next time you use substrate, make it thicker.

lighting: those aquarium lighting provides neither suitable heat nor UVB. use a combination of normal osram bulbs and uvb bulb. in this rainy season, those tortoises are going to have some serious problem without proper heating.

please make changes ASAP (aka TODAY), don't wait after CNY.

How come i missed your post.

Yeah, david you better do like what camillenoir suggested or you might regret for not doing it asap.

Hmmm.... thanks for your advise. I really don't know where to get the thicker substrate. What effects will the wood shavings have on the stars ?

When you mean bulb, you're referring to tungsten filament bulbs ?

wood shavings that are odorous (pine, cedars) could cause respiratory toxicity. you could try chips from non-odorous woods, bark chips or paper cat litter

what i mean by thicker is put more substrates, from your pictures many parts of the aquarium floor are uncovered. tortoises should have at least inch-thick substrate (unless you use newspaper that get changed every single day)

yup.. tungsten bulb for heat.

because i wasn't there LOL

tx. actually those are old pictures, i seldom update them now lol. got put off because cannot link to the pictures in multiply because of "dynamic tags"

congratz.. i went there too

btw, anyone knows any place else selling ally snappers? the ones at selayang are actually common snappers. the last specimen at kin fatt is already booked by someone, apparently just before my arrival. (that someone was very lucky since i was planning to cash and carry)

selayang and kepong are unknown territories for me. sesat for more than 2 hours LOL (tak berkat sebab lari time ofis hours ).

not so bad la..

they got free entrance into the exhibition at 1U (where uzairi flirted with you-know-who's spouse LOL!)

plus, there were a quartet of long-legged, hot brunettes and half-blondes joining them.

well... your loss.. kekeke.

hey.. no one mentioned there was an after tea thingy

regarding the wood chip, today i found 2 small pieces of wood chip in my 3 inches star poo, i think he might be accidentally eat the wood chip...

i think we might have to reconsider which substrate is good for our tortoise, another thing about the wood chip is that they seem to keep moisture and kinda hard for them to dry. to me the best would be the turned upside down tile.

btw the wood chip im using is as the image below, the star in the picture is around 2 inches big.

kangkung is not good for them since it can cause calcium binding. try sawi, carrots, lady finger and french bean and long bean(once a week for the beans)

If you were there it wont make any different either.

camill bro was to shy coz he walk away if not he can join me that time.

a loss is a loss...

Is it this brand?

Would it help if you buy XXL size? This brand hard to find sometimes. Pet Safari got 5 packets of XXL, I sapu all that day. RM24/each. Now left with small size type

You are using XL size or what ? For now the safest i think so far is the recyled paper pellets. Forest bark also have some slight percentage to be swallowed by the st.

Do you have a photo of the recycled paper pellets? Is it sticky when it is et?

Ya, I sapu the last 5. Since it has not expiry date. At least can last me for 6 months gua

that's why we have the hygrometer... anything below 50 should be fine

please also note that humidity that is too low (very dry habitat) might contribute to pyramiding (proven in sulcata)

ok laaa..... seems sihat for me.....n hyperactive.....
i got both for rm210...
i bargain like crazyyyy.....even said that dai86 bought much more cheaper....then he ended up lowering his price....

my toty n tota


their new home



i follow dai86 direction....i dont even sesat sikit pon
yep...the one in selayang is common snapper.....got 1 ally, but already booked.....very2 small ally
i'm very2 excited.......

You can see inesix using the recycled paper pellets.

Too excited until forgot to open the feeding dish sticker ka bro ?
