Wow...it came to my surprise that people in this forum are so friendly and fast responsive too.

I personally rare Leopard before but give away 3years ago. N i just got back to M'sia n thinking to start to have these pets again.

Wonder where i can get them in KL? Any suggestion.

Hi,

What about the rough price for an egyptian tortoise and golden greek? I can't seem to find anyone selling both of these species.

600-800 per pc depending on size and condition

Pet Shop at Uptown:
Star

Pudu Pasar:

Okay... I just recieved the turtles. The smaller 3.5in one has longer claws than the 4inch one. So does that mean the 3incher is male and the other is female?

Thanks

Added on December 28, 2009, 4:21 pmGuys you noe the smallest acrylic tanks sold at LFS? The one with plastic tops that are blue or red? Those are about 15cm in length and my fren managed to keep his 2 turtles in one of those containers for almost 1 year now. Now one(3.5") lives in the small tank and the 4incher lives in a paint bucket lol.... They are able to grow so well... They are quite pale compared to other sliders. I will post pics and can anyone diagnose why?

Thanks

Nothing spent as adding more of them would mean more time needed to take care of them thus none spent!

guys, i read this in the star newspaper today...what do you think guys?

Owners of protected animals have six months to register

PETALING JAYA: Owners of endangered species will be required to apply for permits from the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) starting today.

The requirement — even for endangered species as pets — is the result of the International Trade in Endangered Species Act 2008 coming into force.

Perhilitan legislation and enfor­cement director Saharudin Anan said all owners of such species have six months beginning today to obtain the necessary permits.

“They have six months’ grace to register before enforcement begins,” he said when contacted yesterday.

Besides pet owners, pet shop owners and any other individuals who could be in possession of such species of animals will also have to obtain the necessary permits.

Common household pets which are on the endangered species list include tortoises such as the star and radiated tortoises. Other exotic pets such as imported snakes and reptiles are also covered.

Saharudin said registration was required under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Cites) and the endangered specie list under the Act mirrors the lists of species under Cites.

Malaysia acceded to Cites on Oct 20, 1977, and the convention entered into force in Malaysia on Jan 18,1978.

Saharudin said: “Under the Act, endangered animals found to be without permits will be confiscated and the owners fined.”

Under the Act, possession of such animals without a permit could attract the owner a fine of a maximum of RM100,000 for each one found up to a total of RM1mil, or be sentenced to a maximum of seven year’s jail.

Corporate bodies and zoos found in violation can be fined from RM200,000 up to a total of RM2mil. Similar fines and jail sentences are provided for those who sell, advertise for sale or display to the public such species without permits.

The public can refer to Perhilitan’s website www.wildlife.gov.my for more information...

p/s: Or we cannot discus it here???huhuhu
