yeah is this brand i guess, but i'm not very sure the size, either XL or XXL, have to go back and check it out, but average all are around 1cm size.


congrat on your new stars!! may i know how big their size??

Is it eating already?
So tentatively both is male or female?

i wonder wat's left in de selayang's aquarium shop ha?

Yesterday, I have thoughts of getting a Star to befriend my lonely Sam. Wanted to go to the selayang aquarium to sapu. But unfortunately I didn't know the exact location, so didn't go a buy

If I really go inexsis will be disappointed Anyway, good for him to get them

Ya, so inexsis how many left? Any more nice tortoise/turtle there?

i feels like buying a turtle to celebrate cny lar... hahaaa! wonder what's nice to buy? hehe...

The big head turtle in Pets Safari la

hahaa! i saw tat... but to me... i doesn't like it much... it's ugly! hahaaa!

just measure the humidity and temperature at different ends of your enclosure, at different times of the day. as long as the readings are within accepted range, you dont have to worry about anything.

having your first tortoise(s) you'll practically worry about everything.. just take the readings and you'll be fine. else you'll go bonkers worrying about every minor detail LOL

yesterday i went they have one baby star, some common snappers, and some baby snake necks. however, they didn't bother of removing the dead specimens. not a good sign if you ask me.

pretty ugly is pretty what

Just bought my niece a star last weekend. Bought it from Selayang Baru shop (i don't know whether this is the shop you guys were saying about) but the shop have all kind of exotic animals. Saw 2 big ally and long neck there, monkeys, birds, marine fishes (this tow key is all rounder man!!) Also there is an alligator (or is it crocodile) in the shop!!

BTW, last night went to PS Ikano to find basking lamp for the star . Luckily the staff there quite friendly and he guide me to buy which kind of bulb. plus there is 1 guy (customer there) also give piece of advice on the bulb.


here it is (dont know the gender yet, and no name yet)






BTW, how long should i puts on the heat lamp? during the night i bring the tortise into my room (fully aircond, set to 23deg temp) so i puts on the lamp for whole night. Day time im not that worry because my maid will help me to let the star out for sunlight (also for my niece to play with)


***Sila beri tunjuk ajar!!**

just a reminder.

after the recent announcement of stricter trade laws of wildlife, seems that everyone is rushing to buy new tortoise/turtles.

just be sure that you are well prepared (mentally, financially, responsibility, socially, etc). too much pets at one go will be quite overwhelming.

cheers

Have to be careful ya and remember your tortoise is outside under the sun. We have heard many cases where the tortoise died cause too long under the hot sun

I wonder Sulcata & Leopard is under the same trade law?

yup.. right bro.

err.. what's the plan tonight?





International Trade in Endangered Species Act 2007 (Flora and Fauna).. figure that.

dont put in aircon la bro...walao..

Just a correction on your statement "where the tortoise died cause too long under the hot sun" too long in the sun wont kill anything just that under direct sunlight with nowhere to go will kill it be it Tortoise or any living things !!!

Just povide a hide so that it can choose to hide away if it get too hot !!!

teewai... not recommended to put ur star in a/c... it's best on norm temp...

all points noted!!

Did called home just now to make sure that my maid did used the drift wood that i provide for the star whenever she let the tortoise out...it will be a good shelter for the star....

was thinking to put a rack at the 2nd living room upstairs so i can place the tank there....
after all my wife had warned me that she don't want to see any tortoise inside the bedroom when she came back this wednesday (even i bribe her with a new "corner litter pan" for her bunny she still say "NO TORTOISE IN THE ROOM!" ) ..... but then again from your inputs it is bad to put the star in airconded room so i guess wife will be very pleased to see the star inside the living room

I think bedrooms are not meant for any pets. Not too hygiene
