Wah! Looks good. What's the floating stuff? I used to keep them in the niggest plastic tank available when they were that size too! But I keep the bottom bare because I read somewhere that they may swallow gravel if it's small enough. considering that mine were "hungry ghost" I thought for safety precaution btter bare bottom. Some more bare bottom easy to clean. Pour all water out, scrub, refill, done!

My RES didn't quite like floating islands and as they grew older the island can't support both of them. So I found a perfect large rock that fills a bit of one side. So they can bask securely lor. Also, when they don wanna bask but don wanna swim, they just grab on to the side. They love that rock. I still have the rock. now the rock's job is to support my mum's flower pots.

I use plat moto for they basking area hehe...my RES like swimming and bask for short time only huhu. Before this I use small rock for basking area but it's too heavy la nak angkat2 ahaha...when they grow up may be will looking for biggest house for them. I have 20 gallon tank in my house, one not used and 2 tank buat bele ikan betik dengan kapi la hehe will modify that tank latter.

The water is too deep for them and the platform looks hard to climb on to. Looks slippery to me.

yes I noticed my RES looks hard to climb on the platform then I just repair it yesterday, after that my RES can climb with no problem...about water it' too deep eh? ok I will reduce the water and repair the platform again today thanks for your opinion

*update. This is regarding the supplements.

My supplier said that the price is going up next month so we're gonna have to order soon.

Only 6 tubs left. Help promote!

and the shipment might arrive earlier than 2 weeks : )

Thx in advance..

Read a few posts back. A pet shop owner once told me that to differentiate the sex of the star tortoises is to see if the back of the shell is going straight down or curves out like a skirt. Obviously the one with the out curved 'skirt' is a female n the one with the back of the shell going straight downwards is a male. For me, it was quite accurate because the male has been caught 'humping' the female many times over the course of 8 years. heh but no offsprings though >.<

Links and images so that it can help your sales.

So they are already 8 years with you ? How big are they now, both of them in SCL. And do you have any closeup pictures of both their tails ?

By The way, will snappers choke? I've been feeding her some longish silver fish and wonder if I should cut it up or something.

@blazin_fir3: I hope your TTT gets well... We can only hope. Keep our fingers crossed!

water to deep already..doesnt need to be that deep

Hey thanx..went to the vet already..doc said its a bad lung infection..gave a jab..going back to clinic on tuesday and jab again >.< she kinda cried when doc was examining..coz press the swollen area n jab..got tears.. so sad..

and er..wats SCL? sry not well versed with the jargon. Only one is closing to 8 years the other one is about 7 years or so..coz we got 2 from 2 batches at different time. Now only got 1 from each batch.

The unhealthy one still has running nose with blood mucus. >.<

Hi Everybody...

I hope im not too late to say HELLO

Hi Fat^Cat..

Uzairi, i transfer my questions to this thread alrite? den we dun haf to go both threads..

Haa haa kantol !!! Lagi satu skandal

hi all, just wondering if any of your star tortoises have very dry skins?

one of mine has a piece of skin on its leg half-peeled off, but the leg looks fine. looks something like a dried-off skin replaced, or something like that in description.

does it have anything to do with leaving in the sun for too long? i usually sun them for around 1 hours the most, several times a week. i also set a basking lamp at one side of the tank.
