Hello all...
I'm new here.. nice to meet u all.. ^^
I own 2 RES... they're still baby i guess... about 3 monts and 2 months old..
here are the pics...

This is Kurabo the smaller one


This is kurabi the bigger one


This is the tank where i kept them (Pict taken at night, it's placed near sunlight)
Provided wide space for hem to swim n stones to bask


Both of them..

Hi All,

1st Post in TTT Thread.

Would like to know anyone currently keeping Musk, Mud or US Origin Box Turtles?
Hope you will share your experience with these species.

Been checking around prices are quite high.
Want to know what is the acceptable market value here in MY.

Planning on small sized turtles only. Max 6".

Hoping to kick start my old interest in late July 2010.

Btw, can we import turtles ourselves ? Is this allowed?
What do I need to do? Application with Govt Dept etc...? Anyone with experience?

Thanks.

@ wiebie26

they are so cute, mine was tat size more than 3 years ago, now they are huge and even wanna bite me when i change their water at their home =.=' and the bigger one even knows that I will be feeding it when i open the food pellet bottle.....

im keeping a musk turtle , i think they're quite hardy, mine eat alot @_@.

i would love to import turtles myself, but i think we need to get permit from wildlife department, honestly i do not know the procedure, if i know, i swear ill be a turtle supplier wakakakka but anyway.. there will be risk importing as some of them may die & sometimes theres always problem from da gov. this and that & delay ur collection & wat not (i dunno about animals)..

Can anyone please advise me on which light bulb to use for these following tortoises? I'm planning to use Exo Terra products.

a. Leopard
b. Cherry head

im not too sure about bulbs, i use to use 50watt uvb. but now they're living in my garden..

my red footie isnt eating the vegs that i cut for it, i dunno why it doesnt wanna eat wat i gave, mustard greens & stawberrys so on.. just wanny eat my grass and now my stars are following my red footie eating grass @_@ but atleast my stars are eating vegs..

does ur cherryhead have da same prob?

I haven't buy the tort yet

*falls off the chair* rite.. good in a way to prepare before u buy

Will the cats/monkeys disturb the tortoise? I plan to put my RES in my outdoor pond, but my neighbor has a lot of cats (very naughty) and we live near the jungle, so monkeys are abundant here. Can see them everyday.

same here, my neighbour has cats tht likes to come over to my house, but so far for me no prob with da cats, i have my turtles & tortoise outside my house. but monkey.. have those monkey reached ur house before? if they had then better not to put ur res outside unless u got some special cover that can lock them up.

Can any shifus advise me please? Is the Solar Glo 125W sufficient? I read the details in their catalogue but cannot understand

Yeah, the monkeys always come over to rummage through the wet kitchen! Sometimes, will sneak inside the dry kitchen as well. I guess, it's better to keep them in the tank before putting them outside. Or lots of hiding spots for the RES. Cats scared of water mah
