QUOTE(beardiekid @ Dec 19 2008, 08:09 PM) Sui yu? Isn't sui yu's underside white? As if there is only one sp of "Sui yu" in the world !!  Google softshell turtle and you will know !! By the way if it is indeed a Pelodiscus sinensis - Chinese Softshell Turtle The underside will turn white as it grow up !!! This post has been edited by SAMPERTH: Dec 19 2008, 07:53 PM |

QUOTE(beardiekid @ Dec 19 2008, 09:06 PM) When i mean sui yu, i mean the ones they cook for soup dude. Up to you to think that there is only one paticular sp that all call "Sui yu " !! But hey which sp is that then ?? Would you like to cook a fly river turtle for dinner?  And i don't think anyone calls soft shells "sui yu" other than the ones people use for boiling soup.And that paticular sp with a coloured underside is originaly from north asia - China , Taiwan , Hong Kong ....etc So should be the original "SuiYu" even before Malaysia has any Chinese ( You Malaysian Chinese rite ) !! And your supposed " Suiyu" deemed for soup has white underside ( why ? you might ask , because all those you have tasted / seen are local sp ) !! LOL And yes I dont mind cooking / having fly river turtle for dinner and have tasted them before in PNG and North Australia !! And I bet the natives there call them " SuiYu " in their own language !!! Thats what they are for - tucker before they reach the pet trade !! ! Go out more and read up more before leaving comments !! |

Yeah, i am malaysian chinese, and also, im also sure that lots of people here including me, (besides you) have only seen the ones they serve in chinese restaurants, and usually have white undersides . I also think that soft shell turtles they serve in shops, also are called sui yu, and like you said, to the locals, the might be called sui yu, but to us?  |

QUOTE(camillenoir @ Dec 30 2008, 01:38 PM) my last Malayemys subtrijuga returned to God yesterday, ending my love affairs with shellrots, pus and golden apples. see ya in heaven! A bit too far-fetched ? But its possible rite ! As many of your animals are WC and thus genes unproven ? and of course, my far-fetched wish for this new year is for Him to paint some of my newborns off-white pink (weatherbond only) and grant them rubies for eyes  For me I just wish my co-own soccer ball Tortoise will give me some Ping pong size soccer ball !! - So I can train them in time for 2010 FIFA world cup !!

Jacky = In this water Jeft = below Jacky (on the wood) Jacko = below Jeft (on the wood) Added on January 1, 2009, 8:50 pm QUOTE(Omegaminx @ Jan 1 2009, 08:19 PM) Well, I am just stating what was told by the Officer to my friend at Wildlife, his name is Ahmad. I and my friend are very interested in this part !! It's very simple, just use your cousin's house phone and make a call to Wildlife and ask around, if you are asked to apply for licence, then pls state the name and designation of the officer who told you. All the news articles about IST being confiscated at airports and the like are due to unlicenced importation and smuggling. CITES Appendix I licence can be issued if you look at CITES website. Annex I doesnt mean impossible to issue. Anyway, no need to retract statement, if you want the truth, just ask wildlife...pls update yourself and enlighten us ya. Dont live in the past...Happy New year! - Can you or your friend Ahmad help / guide us thru this , CITES Appendix I licence !! You thought one could just apply for one ( CITES I especially ) after you declare your animals , pay a fine or some sort !! We dont live in the past but just being real as some ( not meaning you but those so call officers who inform your friend ) can lie thru their nose just to set bait !!

QUOTE(nima @ Jan 22 2009, 10:29 PM) Thanks Slackerz, Most of my friend's ST eggs hatch out around the 90 day mark and he candle them around the 3 week mark ( as early as 2 week you will see small network of blood veins ) but 3 weeks the embyro will be bigger and thus easier to see !! Yes, 100-110 days incubation period was what i read for tortoises in general. I just what to know specifically how many days for ST. Hoping some people with experience here can confirm this. By the way, when can we "candle light" a ST egg to see the embryo inside? I mean, how many days after the eggs were laid we shall be able to see the embryo by beam the egg with light? Any one with the knowledge or experience please help. Thank You.  He posted pictures before but in another forum ( THE closed down MF ) All the best with your eggs This post has been edited by SAMPERTH: Jan 28 2009, 05:01 PM |

QUOTE(Azazel) Added on January 29, 2009, 9:40 am About a month or two ago, Ikano was selling them babies for RM300 (give or take). Negotiable too. But they were sold as fast goreng pisang panas. Just FYI. QUOTE(uzairi @ Jan 29 2009, 04:46 PM) The one sold at Ikano was Common Snapping Turtle. QUOTE(Azazel @ Jan 29 2009, 06:06 PM) I was almost sure that there were two species there i.e. commons and alligators because they looked different and were sold at a different price. Oh well, maybe the both were common snappers and the cheaper ones were the low graded ones. Anything is a possibility nowadays. [attachmentid=786010][attachmentid=786012] You guys talking about the same sp ??? some Pets shops' stock do not stay long enough for one to see ( die or sold ) especially "sold as fast goreng pisang panas" QUOTE(vinvin2z @ Jan 31 2009, 05:22 PM) wanna ask hor, regarding alligator snapping turtle. if end of their tails been accidentally cut off, will it grow back? Added on February 2, 2009, 2:49 pm QUOTE(klaze @ Jan 31 2009, 05:28 PM) i think so cant grow back .. that why every snapper owner was very carefull about their tail >.< Ya too from what I know !! They wont grow back Look at above picture ( my friend's F alligator snapper turtle - kept togather with 3 others from young for 8 years now ) full tail still in-tack This post has been edited by SAMPERTH: Feb 2 2009, 05:24 PM |
