Erm... Skin peeling of as in? If you see floating pieces of their skin in the water, yah that's normal. They shed skin as they grow bigger.

O.o How come not keen on eating? This is Malaysia, they don't go into hibernation. Do you let your turtles bask? Red ear sliders love to bask.

anyone know where can i find Exoterra Turtle Bank or Zoo Med Turtle Stuff in KL / Selangor area?

fuyoh bro, wat albino is that RES?

im into albino...i like everything white....but cant afford these baby....damn you power le...

Its not RES but something local !!

Sam does albino have a short live span compare to normal ones ?

Should be the same but not 100%sure as have no Chelonia pet die of old age yet !! Why u ask ?

just curious .....

Guys, need some help, couldn't find out in books or the internet about what's wrong with 1 of my sulcatas, his eyes are closed all day, barely walks around, and his shell especially at his belly is starting to get as soft as hell, even when i just run my fingers over his belly is sinks in.

Any advice appreciated

albino c.amboinensis

Correct !! Heard of this group early this year n just got in touch n bought them !! Albino n all their normal pogeny...... So should be on my way to produce some albino ambo !!

wow....how much you paid for the whole colony of them? this should be quite easy for you to produce them.

Not too bad the price for the colony that may produce visual as soon as they lay eggs / eggs hatch !!

Unless the so call pogeny are fake (just normal not Het. ) !! LOL But I reckon worth the price just for the Albino lot alone !!

They are LTC of more than 5 yrs as claim by seller !! - No visual thus I easily convinced him to sell the whole lot to me !!!

ic....whats the figure like for the group? our side or your side the group from? LTC 5years...did not produce any at his side? total how many pcs? hehe

My side !! As for the figure you will be suprised but I wont reveal !! Ya 5 years and no visual produced at his side (all 3 visual same sex bah !! )

If their gene work like Ball python just breed the visual back to their pogeny will/should produce visual !!

anyone saw any Reeve's Turtles in Aqua Shop (KL/Selangor Area) lately? Looking for it
