Try to reduce the french bean intake, increase mustard green intake as it is cheap and high fiber content

No not normal but need more information to answer !! Where you place the animals/setup is also important - If the whole setup is place in aircond room then they will prefer to stay in water even thou the water temp. is colder !!!!

BASKING is where they get out of water to warm (natural sunlight or artificial lighting) themself on the dry area !! Did you place the whole setting where sun could shine or heat lamps shone on the basking are area ??

Wau, you know a lot, thanks. I will try to improve my knowledge

Can anyone give me a hint where to purchase Batyril.

Besides, any other recommendation to cure tortoise infected with RNS.

hmm, i saw cherry red foot tort sold in ikano, its nice tort.. kinda expensive?
anyone knw where can i get it other than ikano? i mean better to get it at lower/better price?

usually only saw lfs having istar, yellow spotted river turtle.. hardly see any elongata or red footed tort.. hah, interested in getting one..

Currently not sure, but few weeks back...cherry red foot available at Pasar Pudu, prices not sure but i dont think u wil buy there coz the environment & they just keep at plastic tank.

I'm waiting for someone who has Elongateds for sale.

wait..

wait..

You need to determine what causes and or more information about how the tortoise is being kept ?? before recommendation can be advised !!

As some can be deadly if left un-treated while others not !! I have seen/heard of IS having RNS all his life with his owner !!

Good luck

Bro...thx for your advice.

My tort kept internally, at room temperature. Has basking lamp and UVB light. Basking lamp only switch on 6hrs/day, UVB 24hrs. Its only 3.5inch in size. I have no idea out of a sudden there is air bubble from its nose. The bedding is wood chip. Eat well thou.

I was told to try use bronchipur W, its a syrum type, SERA brand. Anyone agree?

thanks budbley, sam,
hope to get one in market soon..
the one i saw at ikano, arnd 8cm in lenght.. bout 400/500rm.. saw it few weeks ago.. and couldt find it in other shops.. sad...

So far i can only see adults for sale, no babies or even juvies for sale here. I rarely see them up for sale here.

I already google for information about turtle healthcare and how to treat it. So I think I'm ready to adopt one. BTW, this thread is very helpful.

So any recommendation for petshop?

Yeah I've come to realize that.

Sigh, wanted to start with a local species upfront but seems like the availability isn't on my side. Other species like the Impressed and Emys require higher level of expertise. =|
