Do not release them back at the public man made lake. Better still put it up for adoption.

if no ppl wan to adpot.. try to release it to some chinese temple lo.. at least got ppl fed them...

Aw they didn't eat it.. will look for some other stuff to try to feed them with.

Jon: Just release the boxie back to nature. FRIM shouldn't be far from your place.

Spirit of Demon: Turtles at temples are being fed junks or monotonous food over and over. Most of the time, turtles are put in overcrowded, stagnant disease-ridden waters. Nothing good can come from there.

'Releasing' turtles at temples is in fact putting them to a miserable life and a slow death.

FRIM is actually a bad place unless you go deep inside. But even then, not sure if the hilly terrain inside is suitable. A lot of people release RES at the easier to access ponds in FRIM. Anyway, crazymouse offered to adopt it and put at her friend's pond. So should be settled already. Thanks everyone.

hahaha... FRIM got many herpetoculturist wannabees

your missus seems to be right on the 'nurturing paternal instincts' part.

hi guys. new here. got an ally snapping turtle last week from pet safari. been wanting to keep one for a long time. currently feeding it feeder fish. seems to be doing ok.

Nice show-off some pic for us PLS Thanks !!!

Nice man! At last you are into chelonian

After this Mata Mata (Chelus Fimbriatus)

i miss the cute little turtle.
how good if the turtle would not grow big. haha

Haha I wanted to use blue danude at first, but Youtube didn't have the version I wanted.

The missus did quite a bit of shopping yesterday. Bought a big rock, tubiflex worm feed, shrimp feed, cuttlefish bone, a !@#!% expensive UV-B lamp, and a filter. Gonna get an aquarium later this week hopefully.

I have a question. Nowadays, a lot of shops selling chelonians with such claims that they come with papers. Have anybody seen one (the paper) or know how they (the papers) would look like?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Yes star get sick an die easily, especially baby star(2-3 inch), except the UVB light u also need UVA light, UVA can provide the heat make the ST digest well. Substrate you can just use the newspaper, cheap and can clean easily. Humidity is better around 50-70 for ST. you need some supplement for your ST also.

Wat supplement u mean?example?

My turtles spine seems to be jutting out.. is this normal?



and

That's normal for a hatchling. Watch out for pyramiding as it grows though.
