Hie Guys,

My torts.

Hie Guys,

Ooh.. My torts in near 5 inches in SCL. I never feed them long beans, but when beginning, used to feed them a lot of Exo Terra pellets. I think this maybe the cause for the minor pyramiding. Now I'm only feed them green mustard, unless when I want to feed them calcium supplement, I will feed them on top of wet pellets.

My snapper is around 3.5 inches though. Quite heavy eater. Once snap on a large feeder fish, its claws can easily torn the fish into halves. Was thinking to sell the ally snapper though. It's too fierce for me to handle..haha.

From the pics, I think the baby ally snapper is around 2 inches long. Are you feeding it with small feeder fish? How about water level? Be careful when handling it as the shell of baby ally snapper is really soft.

Wow!!!! Nice Emys... beautiful eyes too!

Here is few pics of my Stars!!!

Hie all sifus,

My female star tortoise has a big problem. It's very inactive lately and its front limbs seems weak. Her poo and pee is OK. No runny nose. Eating well on orchard grass, cucumber and calcium powder. Under basking light. Has been keeping her around 3-4 years together with a male star tort with same size.

She is 4-5 inches SCL and weight more than 500g. Any idea what causes her to be inactive? Egg bound?

Hie billyer,

All my torts are feeding on Timothy Hays before I opt for Orchard Grass (the stem is softer). I'll cut the hays into small pieces, then pour water on them so the hays are wet. For the first try, you should mix in something that they like to eat into the hays, eg. green mustard(sawi), tortoise pellets, mushroom, fruits or calcium powder.

Hope this helps.

Wow.. budblely... nice ASTs
What are you feeding them? Feeder fish? Pellets?
Any water filter inside it? The water will easily gets oily and dirty if you are feeding them feeder fish.

Billyer, do post the photos. I would like to get a pair of sulcata too, but not anytime soon, since now I've star, cherry and impressa. Taking photos for sulcata from time to time is helpful if u wanna track their growth rate. I read that sulcata grows very fast.
