@slackers: They will choose when they wanna bask. Maybe its just too hot or they wanna explore. I think its normal but should get them sum UVB from time to time. Plus can share size and all?
[/quote] my ST size average dlm 3 inch la.still kanak2 lg.i hav 4 of them..setiap kali hujan they must got RNS,even i let basking light ON.but when i force them to have sunbath,hingus kat hidung diorg will dissapear quickly.. |

QUOTE(Fat^Cat @ Mar 11 2008, 02:14 AM) You didnt put your ST in a container or Square Tray? I put mine inside a square tray, so they didnt run away. Best time for sunbath is from 9m -11am. i already put them in container.but they become more aggresif when expose to sunlight.like want to climb up the container..Added on March 11, 2008, 2:27 am I think its not too late for me to say condolance to you too. Sound like your ST having internal problem. Have you deworms your ST before? May i know how big is your ST? You can try salad, dont put any calsium or vitamins on it, let your ST have a original smell of it. I know, some of ST dont really like mustard green, even mine too. But they crazy with salad. Pumkin is good for natural dewormer. Added on March 11, 2008, 4:29 pmanyone know where can i get uvb bulb (not the long pendaflour one)within kl and selangor area? i have been to almost all petsafari n pet wonderland outlet in both area but i still cant find one. preferably reptiglo 2.0 n 5.0 compact.help me please..

QUOTE(livingmonolith @ Mar 17 2008, 07:02 PM) @slackerz, 3 inch only..hu3how big is your ST? if it continues you better remove the wood bedding before it starts believing that wood is its staple food... might wanna bring to the vet and see, especially since you said it ate those XXL sizes wood beddings. @liette`, the last time i checked irene's aquarium in seapark is still selling snapping turtles. you can check out that place. ikano's pet safari has an alligator snapping turtle, but i don't remember seeing a pricetag for that one. Added on March 17, 2008, 8:29 pm QUOTE(Fat^Cat @ Mar 17 2008, 07:53 PM) I suggest you change your ST bedding from kayu to Recyle Paper. If your ST termakan this recycle paper also, its will be no problem for them. Some more, this type of bedding can help you to low down your Humidity which needs for ST. thanx bro..![]() We actually had discuss about this Topic in Malaysia Fauna forum ( MF ) You can check it out through this link : http://www.malaysiafauna.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=119 Good Luck !

QUOTE(crazymouse_yyh @ Mar 22 2008, 12:23 AM) If a tortoise has soft shell.... sunning and normal calcium intake would be slow.... I dunno what progress would happen coz I had 1 star that was like that before, it died within a year.... I was feeding it calcium powder and sunning him too. but i think skatila's ST still kecik lg maa..maybe normal to have a little soft shell b4 it become hard2. The right way to treat would be lots of sun, high calcium foods and also calcium injections.... must do weekly or something. This is a faster way to get the calcium absorbed into the body to harden the shell... vet told me this 5 years ago..... coz my star died 5 years ago. Now my current 6 year old star is healthy with a very hard shell. |

QUOTE(blazin_fir3 @ Mar 23 2008, 08:30 PM) Well, maybe u should try to separate all of them. Coz virus actually transfers to another medium when the host gets better/higher immunity. so when they get better one by one den oni put them back together..plus should quarantine a while be4 mix them again.. oic..but actually i have no more space in my room(i live at hostel)..maybe i can think da way to separate them.is there any possiblity they get RNS becoz of dust?my room quite dusty,eveyday i must clean it.maybe dust come from the traffic at sprint(kerinchi link)highway that just a few meter from my room.. If go taman megah..wish that u see Dr. Yeoh senior..he gives a better feeling/caring..unlike junior..quite rough.. >.< |

@Fat^Cat: for this case also i have a problem.only da smallest one of my ST like to stay under basking light.the others will run away and digging the bedding to hide themselve even in cold night. i think that the main point why they got RNS so easy la..for sunbath,i force them to have it,but just moreless 1 hour per day..coz the really want to run..i heard someone in dis forum said my ST is vampire ST,aha3.

Actually i heard the same case before but i think its should be ok if your tank tempreture & humidity levels at what its suppose to be. Its also will help to prevent from RNS. What i suggest you do, change your basking lamp possition at the centre of your tank. Let them use with it for awhile.... then you can put back the basking lamp at one side like what your are doing now. The previous owner of your ST might didnt provide any basking lamp to them before, so that why they didnt use with it. Just try like i suggested you 1st then see how.... [/quote] ok,thanx... |
