LOL.Guessing this has been overlooked?

My supplier has some on his list for RM 2++ a pc sub-adult to adult size !!

My friend has some in his collection and keep/feed them as if they are Malayan Boxie !!! But do remember to keep them seperate ( C.ambo and C. Galbinifrons ) as they do and will mate and hybrid among themselves

Wow. That's interesting to know. They're an awesome species that rarely get the appreciation they deserve.

Is it safe to presume they're just as tolerant and hardy as C. Ambo? I have read somewhere that they are the least aquatic among the boxies. How would you deal with internal parasites in this particular species?

C.ambo, tried some googling. What is it anyway?

A cross breed of 2 turtles? Man that's just awesome

Try Cuora Amboinensis.

Thanks.

If it is big enough.. just look at the carapace, if its concave its a male.

My malayan box is like the size of my palm... which is frikin small..

guys,anyone can share smthing about impressa tortoise?

All new WC animals are unpredictable ( if they are weak they are not as hardy ) Even C.ambo can be fragile at times as new WC !!

Yes they are less aquatic (most Cuora sp are like that as they reach adulthood ) only the male lurk in the water (spent more time in water as adults than female ) waiting for female to mate ( they mate in water ) !!!

As for internal parasites - you have to worm them ( as with all Wc aniamls )

There are a few subspecies for Cuora galbinifrons ie Cuora galbinifrons picturata ,C. g. bouretti and C. g. galbinifrons

They are much more colourful than our local Malayan boxie !!!

Wanted to share something, when i saw this pic i was like WTF


Attached thumbnail(s)

wow....awesome pyramiding!!!!!
well i wonder why some ppl love pyramiding tortoises

I think it's a tortoise rescue and the sulcata was lack of calcium when it arrived

But still, uber pyramiding

OMG :hyper_shok: The poor sulcata. Sigh... Hope it gets a better owner.

Anyway, yesterday my ally snapper went missing after we left it to bask for about half an hour. Was looking high and low and was on the verge of giving up (even more than ever since I lost 2 turtles before).

After 2 hours of searching finally found her in the sewer deep inside and not noticeable at all. Geez, gave me a heart attack.

to have such pyramiding, and still able to live until the size as the picture suggests, is definitely amazing.

like lessilly said, some people really like pyramidings in tortoises, perhaps they have the idea that it's cool to have bumps on the shells? but most of the time these people don't really know a lot about tortoises, so i guess we can forgive them for their ignorance...

Hehe, yeah... some people do think pyramiding is cool, when i was like 5 i also taught pyramiding was cool... until a few years back @_@

Some Pyramiding Leo:








Very very awful pyramiding...

That's some ugly leos

those ppl keeping them are damn idiots!
Really pissed off seeing them at such health....
Better just give to someone who wants to take care of them.
DAMN IT!

Sheesh, that's bad @_@. 2nd pic looks ok but third looks like...
