Hi All,

1st Post in TTT Thread.

Would like to know anyone currently keeping Musk, Mud or US Origin Box Turtles?
Hope you will share your experience with these species.

Been checking around prices are quite high.
Want to know what is the acceptable market value here in MY.

Planning on small sized turtles only. Max 6".

Hoping to kick start my old interest in late July 2010.

Btw, can we import turtles ourselves ? Is this allowed?
What do I need to do? Application with Govt Dept etc...? Anyone with experience?

Thanks.

Hi,

Just curious.

Those with sulcata, what are you gonna do with them when they grow up into giants?
As far as I know, even for those living in semi-D house would have problem housing them in the garden.

Yeah, i know TTT are slow growers compared to mammals and fishes... etc...but well,...i think long term...i mean 5 to 10 years down the road. Well, that just me.
Anyway, do not want to be party poopers but please read up if anyone plans on really big tortoises.
