ezaleina ? iinm

yea, somehow i managed to find its connection and figure it out lols

Since the res are still small, try to sunbath them once in a while under the sun on weekends. That would help them at least.

Omega, about the license thingy there is no way u can get away even if the said specimen was given by a fren or "cb" because the thumb rule is that any cites related animal, especially cites 1 are no where to be accepted as "ok". For the officers to say its ok, i think its just another bait to capture those animal keeper and confiscate their animal.

I think you need to read more on V2 and V3 to get the rough idea on what's happening now, so that you would understand why people here reacted that way. I know you want to share with us on the info given to you but we were stating the real world situation and explaining things to you from our experiences.

That gravel pictured above is not recommended because the turtles can accidentally swallow the small gravels over time. What i can suggest is, use biological + chemical filter element combo to get the best result. For biological filter element, you can use crushed corals/molluscan shells and for chemical filter element you can use charcoals. A good powerfull pump, good quality wool filter element + biological + chemical filter element combo would get the job done just fine. A monthly change for the wool filter element and once in 3-4 months for the charcoal would result in greater cleaning power and long lasting clear water for your fellow testudines

for display purposes, you might need to get bigger sized gravel with no sharp edges..

bare bottom setup would be the best especially when the water is crystal clear..

5.0 is good already for them, 2.0 im not sure wether its enough or not for the uvb output. You can use 2.0 if you bask them under the sun once in a while

No wonder im into latino stuff more often now....

The one sold at Ikano was Common Snapping Turtle.

For rm250, im very sure its an alligator snapping turtle.

nice one bro !

binaries and hexadecimals

That's an ally snapper bro

I thought you prefer those non morph type bro

Guppy is okay, you can try feeding the RES

Feed them with Guppy as treat, 1-2 times per week.

About the shyness and aquatic behaviour of your res its normal and its different for every of them so just leave it as it is. Its unique dont u think so ?

If eating fine and active, no need to worry much.
