hmm.. i brought st 2yrs ago.. sorry, not sure its legal to discuss this here..
recently, fren of mine gav me his, since he knw im having one..
this st kinda young, i notice when he is sleeping, i wake him up, his eye looks waterly... its not cloudy or anything, jus waterly and clear.. jus like human after having yaw.. is tht normal? is it disease?
unlike the old im having, i woke him up, his eye look clear, but not waterly..

another question, any vets around klang valley? will i get caught if i bring st for some treatment since its illegal now?

rheum is completely normal. eyes do produce mucus, so as long as it is not excessive, there is nothing to worry about.
why are you asking for trouble?

thanks, hmm i think the rheum is quite excessive.. which keep me worry bout him.. its been happen for few day as it never happen during the past month.. before he woke up, his eye like having liquid, doesnt sound like rheum.. once open, rheum came out..
let me check him out tmr morning.. see whether he ok or not..
hope like u said, its normal..

hmm, eye drops? he always close his eye.. open only i disturb him..


pic show him closing his eye, quite big, once open his eye, excessive rheum release, then he keep wiping his eye.

yea... last time i use dry corn cob bedding..
lately i mix with pine wood shaving.. .is it because of using pine wood shaving, cause tortoise having these kind of problem? the eye look abit swollen.. limb also look kind thin..

i feed him green mustard, all kind of vege except beans. he eat very little(at least he eat).. now i separate him from old st..

i fed sawi and spinach.. so kinda black, bit sticky.. but one thing i notice, there is a time i saw his poo hanging at his ''anus'', not complitely poo out(at tht time, he still ok).. tried to pulled abit, only get to knw its abit sticky..

he having quite a weak limb to me at 1st place i take over.. mayb its jus too young i guess.. so i sun bath him every morning, to get vitamin and calcium to grow stronger shell..

hmm.. thanks alot.. i try to use paper now.. let see hows he goes.. hopefully it cure by itself...

hmm.. Pets Day Out event.?? where?

hmm.. i jus brought herbil jbl from pets center...
planning to feed to my istar..
found out this fella dun take it..

i've been feeding sawi, french beans..
she like french beans alots.. until last week, she stop eating d.. so i change to sawi.. eventually she ate it.. so sudden change of diet.. any idea?

today feed french bean again, she eat d.. with little amount..
how to increase tortoise appetite?? i notice these few day she been eating quite little.. and how should i train her to take jbl bio organic vege pellet??

hmm, yellow/red footed, elongata and asian black is more easier to take care compare to istar?
is this mean thy can sustain high humid temperature in our country ?

hmm, i saw cherry red foot tort sold in ikano, its nice tort.. kinda expensive?
anyone knw where can i get it other than ikano? i mean better to get it at lower/better price?

usually only saw lfs having istar, yellow spotted river turtle.. hardly see any elongata or red footed tort.. hah, interested in getting one..

thanks budbley, sam,
hope to get one in market soon..
the one i saw at ikano, arnd 8cm in lenght.. bout 400/500rm.. saw it few weeks ago.. and couldt find it in other shops.. sad...
