» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « WTF! You mean something as deformed as that could still be corrected? That's awesome! By the way, what do you mean by "plying"? Molding? Shaping? This post has been edited by Azazel: Oct 30 2009, 04:06 PM |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 30 2009, 05:14 PM) If you send that recent pic to that KK friend and tell him its his Aldabra and close to 8 inch now he will know the difference !! Before one could describe it as the HunchBack Tortoise of KK LOL as the 3 fused scute are really denying that part(left) much growth while the right part and the rest of body growing like crazy (maybe junk and too much food) Receive it at about 7 inches (03/08 to 05/09 is about 14 months ) about 3.5 inch growth inbetween !! LOL! You know what? If I am not mistaken, there were two others (ynis) that had the same problem. LOL!As need to speed up and slow certain part of the carapace growth I slow him down to 1 inch for the 6 mths I got it !! Wala - the result all can see I think need another 6 mths to a yr to make the difference almost invisible LOL If noticed before grown out of control easier to correct !! these kind of condition especially common in specimen held for awhile in sellers' hand and wrong food , husbandry given/used !! |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 30 2009, 06:33 PM) Really ?? I did not know as he have not shown me !! A fellow forumner will be upset as were sold by him If I recalled correctly, the enclosure was a blue tub, covered with pellets as substrates, located at the back part of the house underneath a porch lookalike area behind the kitchen and were cared by an Indonesian maid. He has a maid for his animals sial! All of them!!!Setup of his simple enclosure ? or diet ? as the Yni were also hatchling size when he got them back in early 08 !! Saw his juv Sulcata ? Whats your comment on that guy ? - Its pre-a forum you know !! All the other adult size animals are bought likewise thus should not have any compliant !! Diet wise I do not know. Probably the same la with the others. As for other species (carbonaria, denticulatas, phayreis, emys, pardalis, sulcata, radiatas, parrots, monkeys, fire-breathing dragons, homosapiens etc), they all seem alright with no problems whatsoever. I think he has problems keeping the smaller ones though. p.s. You didn't hear this news from me...LMAO!

I have to ask you this i.e. how the hell you control the growth of certain parts of the carapace?! How do you slow down the growth of some parts and speed up the other parts in one particular animal? It's like play-doh sial LMAO! I asked because I think I managed to achieve such feat with one of the cherry's in my specimen. But I am really not sure what happened. So I would like to be 100% sure how the process works for my future benefits. Thanks in advance. This post has been edited by Azazel: Oct 30 2009, 06:57 PM |

QUOTE(camillenoir @ Nov 15 2009, 10:40 AM) wow, this thread is full of stupid ignorant kids with no respect to the elders. made me miss MF so much. I'll take that as a complement. all these years, this is the first time i've seen someone with the audacity to tell SAM to go see a psychiatrist. so much disrespect. well noobz (you know who you are), the 2 SAMs had nothing prove as all the movers, shakers and players knew his capacity and capability as the tortoise god™ if you're going to find good answers and not bulls, don't give bulls. remember the fact that there are people in the 30s, 40s, 50s that had done prior research, keeping and breeding while you're still pissed-drenched in your mami poko. And here's something to bring back some memories from the good old days:  Enjoy! Regards |
