Nice man! At last you are into chelonian

After this Mata Mata (Chelus Fimbriatus)

You are doomed!

iinm, its Chinese Stripped Neck Turtle Ocadia Sinensis. Assumption made from observations made in LFS in the past weeks.

Updated, thanks for headups!

LOL, talking about long vacation its been quite some time ive had a long nice vacation since i started this hobby

For land tortoise, you can try recycled paper pellets. They are very useful at absorbing the pee and liquid from the poo thus reducing the stench odour from it.

Too small to sex them, at least 4inch minimum would do, but that depends on their diet too since overgrowth problem is popular on this species.

Yup, even with small amount you would easily exceed their calcium requirement by doing so. Once or twice per week would do just fine.

Correct.

Something that would make me a happy man lol. But i never saw this brand selling around here

Its not underpowered, but youre lacking something else which is the biological and chemical filter element part to complement the wool filter element.

For biological filter element, you can use crushed coral and chemical filter element you can use charcoal. This 2 combination would make the water clearer and less smell too.

To use them together, just place the crushed coral under the wool filter element and charcoal filter element at the bottom. The water would go from the wool, crushed coral and finally charcoal.

You can pour some of the powder at every alternating meal, or once a week depending on what u feed them. They might not take green foods with sprinkled powder, instead try giving those powder with striking and colorful foods such as the hibiscus leaf or dragon fruit.

This is a cheap and good way but its quite messy and smelly at times if you are not there to change the newspaper bedding often.

Nice ally there bro, about the basking thing they need it too but not that much. Maybe you can just put a drift wood or a big stone so that it can climb out from the water if it wishes to do so.



Correct.

They should never be put on direct sunlight, and you should prepare a hiding place too if its too hot for them so that they can hide inside it.

Nice avatar indeed, look a bit gay-ish tho

Seatru ?

SEATRU is now known as TRRG

Added on August 3, 2009, 1:47 amI assume yours is a common snapper, how big are they ? How big is the enclosure ? How's the water quality ? What do you feed them ? What's the water temperature ?

for real ?

Nice avatar camille

Pity this guy

Put them up for adoption, never release them to any tasik or whatsoever

Exoterra brand, Pets Safari, Ikano Powercentre. How to setup depends on your current configuration.

2 inch is a very fragile size to start, get those 4 incher specimen as they are hardier albeit the price compared to those you mentioned.

Try to browse previous version of TTT thread, some members posted their setup there.

Just get the 10.0, better in the long term as the uvb output will degrade over time.

That's Snail Eating Turtle (Malayemys Subtrijuga)

Awesome specimen bro! What's the SCL measurement ?

nice sam! how about their tails ? still intact ? because from my observations if we keep them in 1 enclosure they are prone to get their tails bitten by other specimen.

That's kachuga tecta, indian roofed turtle.

U should relocated the basking lamp to be 90 degree position on top of the basking log.

still intact

maybe i should ask my friend to reintroduce his sub adult AST back together

Local choy sam is ok but try to give it a variety of food. There's no need to put a bowl of water inside the enclosure, soak it weekly in a lukewarm water would do.

Depends, its either your ST got an eye infection or its just too dry for your ST.

That's not MBD, its permanent and not reversible.
