Sam, the image u post can't be seen >.< thx for inputs =)

I think the food given is a bit bad..the mixture of taste between mushroom and cherry? Cherry is sweet too..don't think its a good source of food coz it has a high sugar content?..IMHO..

YEAH, Im agree with you Sam... Anyway, long time didnt hear from you Sam. Button Mushroom is normally Chinese ppl use is it? For Wantan Mee & some other dish is it? Its dried one, then we need to RENDAM the mushroom first is it?

blazin_fir3 : Thats not Cherry. Its Tomatoes. Those small2 type one. You can find that kind of Tomatoes at TESCO in packets.

Yours one consider a baby still. Need more attention on it. Frankly, ST is a sencetive tortoise. Dont worry so much about the pyramiding. If you give your ST proper diets, they will be ok. Its normal lah if got slightly pyramiding for ST especially for the female.

For ST, humidity is very important to prevent them from kena RNS & etc. So i suggest each of you need to put the thermometer & hygrometer for your ST. Digital one is the best to get an accurate measurement and durability.

Here are the Humidity Levels for few types of tortoise : -

For STAR TORTOISE humidity should be maintained around 40%-50%
For RADIATED TORTOISE around 60%-70%
For SULCATA TORTOISE around 35%-45%
For LEOPARD TORTOISE around 25%-35%
For IMPRESSA TORTOISE around 70%-80%

I think its much better to discuss it here reither to put in TTT Quick Guide. Because each TTT have diffrent settings, tempretures, humidity levels. Also same with the lamps, bedding & etc, their prices are not fix & the type of bedding too. At lease we have many topics to discuss here & make our TTT forum looks more happening & alive !
For those beginners, you can always ask here or you can refer to our previous forum discussions. Thats what is forum for. We discuss, share opionions & ideas !!!

IMPORTANT : Dont mix up your Ally Snapper. They will fight each other for sure. Maybe not now but in future they will do ( Maybe you can sell one to me  )

I just put mine in a 4 feets Aquarium ( depands on your Ally's size ). The water level abit higher from the Ally Snapper's head, so its easy for them to take a breathe. Put one filter pump & let the pump blow the water to make the water running ( If your Ally Snapper too small, no need to do this ). Do it similar like inside the river 

Dont feed your Ally Snapper everyday. enough once or twice a week because they very fast to growing up until so big

Hie Guys and Gals,

Wow! This forum has been really active with posts there few days ya. Here's a few pics of mine. Have a question, since calcium supplement is so important for tortoise, is it the same for ally snapper? If yes I really have no idea how to feed ally snapper with calcium supplement, haha. Any suggestion?

Thanks ya.

Correct me if i'm wrong but aren't those radiated? The shell is higher and length is shorter compared to a ST.. no?

3-4 times per week, to simulate their natural eating behavior. Rapid growth leads to shorter lifespan, so please take note.

Feeding them daily would make their digestive system overworked and leads to early failure.

Better not lah... as what i know, they need sometime to digest their food... Some more, your ST will grow bigger than their age, which is unbalance..... So, better feed them 2 days once.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows how much a russian tort would cost?

Its not blocked, its just sitting on a pyramid of planks, the temp at the basking area is at 35-36 degrees.

Nope, no water dish inside...this is really doing my head in...

Just wondering if a higher watt basking light will be able to lower the humidity, somewhere along the lines of 100-150?

I took it somewhere in the middle of the basking light and the cool end of the enclosure.

As for the higher watt, that is one of my concerns of raising the temp too high, but i read somewhere that if the condition in the enclosure is warm and humid it will be ok for stars? As opposed to it being cold and humid.

and i want to know what is this 2 spp from all sifu here....

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

hello, may i know wat is the differernt between radiated tortoise n star tortoise... they are differernt or they are same

radiated is a tropical species, it is more hardy and as fragile as st so any size would do.

They prefer dry regions of brush, thorn (Diderae) forests and woodlands of southern Madagascar

thx 4 da friendly welcome.. where to c u guy's turts n torts????
