QUOTE(Skatila @ Oct 24 2008, 10:56 AM) i dunno, but i think u will get caught, huhu, if u managed to pass at KLIA and the other country airpot, do tell us ur story  ...worst scenario? 100k fine per tortoise head, jail? or maybe both? dunno, forgot the act...  actually i managed to get through before, at that time i didnt thought that it could be a serious matter tho. but having seen so many articles regarding the law being posted here, better think twice. find that the st are so cute the first time we saw them,jst bought them n flew them to my second home, didnt think much at that time. now i jst wanna add some friends to the existing pair, thats all.

Ya Female Star grow faster and her maximum size is also larger !! If you dont believe me , try find 6 - 8 incher Male in private collection or those offered for sale and you will know !! But for female 8 to 10 or even 11 inch are quite "common" ( As if LOL )

Covered vivarium ie Exo terra will hold the humid pretty well But tub work just as well as long as the right substrate is used My friend use moss and peat mix in a tub !! Works well for him - in fact all his tropical sp's hatchlings are maintained this way !!

Do you think they'll thrive well in a screen enclosure? but with the right substrate like peat moss?
Can i put 1 adult cherry head into a 4 ft tank? lol

Why not even adult Red footed can fit in a 4 ft tank just that substrate need spot cleaning more often as they poo a bit !! This post has been edited by SAMPERTH: Oct 25 2008, 05:15 PM

Depends on how you use them you might need to change the substrate often !!
