Leslie, how's your turtles and tortoises ?

My ally doesn't take veges. How to vary her diet ar? I give her as many different fishies a week.

I rarely see ally snapper consume vege so dont worry, they are carnivore afterall.

If im not mistaken Ally Snapper is a Karnivor.... So dont worry....
To additional vitamins, you can feed you Ally Snapper with Koi Pallets with Sprirulina.



I feed my Ally & Common Snappers, pignose, long necks & razorbacks with this. Can feed for other turttles & terappins too

Hey guys, got some qs about lowering humidity, the humidity for my stars enclosure is about 76%, and according to most care sheets, it needs to be about 40%.

Any ideas on how to lower the humidity?

Use recycled paper pellets, cover your tank and get a basking lamp. That should do the trick.

Yep, i am using recycled paper pellets with basking lamp, will a dehumidifier work i wonder?

Put the tank cover.... Change the bedding type.... If still cant, then maybe you can use Heat Wave Lamp or Heat Glow Light at night. Try the enclosure below than 70%

dehumidifier would only work for a short period of time, so its not a good option i suppose.

did you use a cover for the st tank ?

Last time, i also use the recycled paper pallets as bedding & put basking lamp at nite. Some more i put the tank cover, but when the night time, the humidity enclosure are more than 70% especially when rainy days. So, i decide to use Heat Wave Lamp at night for the best of my tortoise becoz Heat Wave Lamp dont have light compare than Heat Glow which might stress them.

Well, its sort an enclosure that is covered at the sides except the top has something like a metal mesh, its actually one of the those rabbit enclosures that has been converted, no stars in there now, as i am trying to get the optimum parameters before i put them in.

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

Beycont :

What are the humidity enclosures of yours in day & night time?

Jamien

Feed your feeder fish with that stuff, so that your snapper will get it too by eating the feeder fish.

The humidity now is at 74%. I have the basking light on too.

Jamien :

You can try not to feed her for few days or maybe a week. Then you try to feed with this pallets. Once they try, they wont never refuse. Last time my turttles also refused it at first. Now, they like it so much.

Ally snapper is diff, they rarely take static objects as food.

Wow... with basking light 74% its kinda high... im sure its will up until 80% or more without it.
You have picture of your tank ?

Yeah thats right bro... but once they hungry, everything also they sapu... Its just for the start, once they get to know it, then slowly change lah...
