OIC. Thanks! But I scared my ally don eat only since she's not interested in inanimate objects...

Thanks. I will take your advice. Let's see how it goes ya.

Uzairi~ Why issit bad to brush ally's shell with a toothbrush?

Eh, I noticed that my ally will climb on top of the log sometimes. Is this normal? Does my ally want to sun?

So I should take her out to sun?

Eh... It's not good to fight. Also, it's not good to call names. Here is a thread where we can share our love and information on TTT with other TTT lovers ma. Anyone can post and anyone can give comment. But anyone can disagree and anyone can agree also lar. So let's have a friendly discussion?

Hmmm... If you're talking about green turtles or RES, mine grew from the size of 20 sen and 50 sen to about the size of a small plate in 2 years (just their shell la).

The thing is, to keep more than one of any animal together, you must give them enough space so they don't have the need to fight or rival (according to my experience). My RES lived in a pretty big place and continuingly growing tank as they grew so they never fought.

According to the Pet Safari Vet (who specializes in TTT) he said 2 TTT living in 1 environment will form a pecking order, like many animals. That time my female ST already like ur female. He said "your male is getting all the food, all the best basking spots, etc. So she only get all the not so good parts he don wan eat. Ur female always pushed away so she is malnutrished and weak. It's the same as slowly starving her to death. They started out at the same time but your male grew and your female didn't, means she isn't getting enough."

That time I have to start to force-feed her and bask her dy. Cuz if she continues not to eat she will die.

Cuttlebone ca buy for RM 2.50 one I think, in 1 utama.

inner ear infection? Scary lar. RIP btw...

If you say like that means it was already sick when your sister brought it home. Not eating is always a bad sign. Nvm lar, at least it's in peace now. No sickness.

Wat's air kolah? About chlorine, I think it's not so important as long as the chlorine amount is not serious. My friend's RES lived for 15 years on chlorinated water. Still alive and thriving.

MY RES tank have to clean once in 3 days le or you cannot see anything in the water... That's WITH filter.
I miss my RES too!

I feel RES is very easy to care. From my experience, they eat like hungry ghost, swim to you like a shark when they're hungry, easy to clean (and brush their shell. Not resistant to being hand-held), grow fairly quickly and are not picky about food. And yes, they bask like flying. Mine used to shed a lot too. From 20 cent to size of a small plate, Can you imagine the shedding... ^^" Ah, They also used to take turtle pellets from my hands.

@anbusan: if your RES eats it'll grow till its old. Don't worry. Just need to worry about its diet so that its shell doesn't get deformed (providing it eats).

I thought air kolah is good? I also thought that you don't have to use anti-chlorine for air kolah.

^^ I use toothbrush too. They seem to enjoy it.

It sounds like an infection. You better bring it to a vet.

Actually I dunno why but I'm kinda freaked out by the red feet...

Sorry sorry. Scales. I dunno why but I feel so geli when I look at the red scales?

I like snakes and tarantulas and lizards, scorpions, stuff like that. So I have no idea why I feel gli also.

Currently preoccupied with my Ally and ST. I've got other pets too

Huh. I don't think so lar. Swim 24 hours your turtle will get very tired? BTW, tortoise are live on land and turtles live in water (partially). And Basking is very important for them to digest their nutrients like calcium. Not to mention It really helps shedding so the shell can grow well. How come you want it to swim 24/7?

I have a very good solution for you. You can get one of those floating rock for him providing he's not very heavy. He can climb on top when he tired. Or DIY a stand at the side so he can climb on when tired. Problem solved.

Now I feel damn takut. Serious ar?? I know Star Tortoise is a protected animal, that's why they're using such a law. When the buying stops, the hunting will too. That's why they're enforcing such a law I think. but it's unfair for people who already own them.

How much is the license and where to get it?

I thought food hunting and mating are all in their instincts? Since they hatch and just go out on their own..
