i'm gonna have some good laugh here... sorry sam

of all the names in the world, you opted to call him that...

that's a Parker's Snake-necked.

Both mouth wide open and butts-up are normal defense mechanism in alligator snappers.

Be careful when the snapper do the 'butts-up', because it can jump, turn and snap quite fast from that pose.

the second specimen is not 2 years old. duh, another seller who know nuts.

yeah, although snappers are garbage cans, wriggling pinkies are indeed appetizing in their own way!

currently, all my turtles are served feeding fish only once weekly as i'm trying to avoid copper buildup. might not be critical to most keepers, but i just to avoid problem.

leopard tortoise can die fast if the humidity is too high. it is more sensitive to humidity than stars, even in specimens 10" and up. i experienced that before.

dai: i checked on the net, there is indeed a caresheet on chelonia.org (not chelonia.net lol) that mentioned about leopard easily adapting to their environments in Africa



malaysia is literally surrounded by coasts..

dzi: i think you could use the spoiler tag to post those articles, looks neater that way.

uzairi: take lots of pictures from today's gathering. i'll be watching, from somewhere

and all you guys are welcomed to drop by. the more, the merrier.

venue : Ikano McD
time : 5pm

aiya bro... you can buy the leopard and sulcata what.. just make sure the husbandry requirement is fulfilled, especially on the humidity. many people had successfully raised leopard tortoise here in malaysia.

stars.. expect sellers to hide stocks and raise the price come march.

many animal lovers (and posers) would be there

but please don't bring furkids, the venue is a restaurant.

i think mamba and rafiqos will bring their human pet

non-lyn endorsed. organized by another forum. most attendees already known each other.

end of story.

i got a message today that M. Auliya just launched a new book, something like identification guide to the tortoise and freshwater turtles of brunei, indonesia, malaysia, papua, philippines, singapore and timor leste. the book is to be used with the new law, so now you can expect wildlife officers to be more knowledgeable, to a certain limited extent.

license? that would be impossible to obtain unless your animals have all the legal documentations. you can try to apply and get your animals confiscated.

FYI, radiated is in CITES 1 so no license could be rightfully issued

substrate: those pine/cedar/whatever odorous shavings should be changed ASAP. at the mean time, you could just use newspaper. and next time you use substrate, make it thicker.

lighting: those aquarium lighting provides neither suitable heat nor UVB. use a combination of normal osram bulbs and uvb bulb. in this rainy season, those tortoises are going to have some serious problem without proper heating.

please make changes ASAP (aka TODAY), don't wait after CNY.

wood shavings that are odorous (pine, cedars) could cause respiratory toxicity. you could try chips from non-odorous woods, bark chips or paper cat litter

what i mean by thicker is put more substrates, from your pictures many parts of the aquarium floor are uncovered. tortoises should have at least inch-thick substrate (unless you use newspaper that get changed every single day)

yup.. tungsten bulb for heat.

not so bad la..

they got free entrance into the exhibition at 1U (where uzairi flirted with you-know-who's spouse LOL!)

plus, there were a quartet of long-legged, hot brunettes and half-blondes joining them.

well... your loss.. kekeke.
