wow... you are absolutely correct. they are originated from irian jaya. impressive.
thanks for all the comments and inputs. they are really fun to pet. i even amazed by how fast they finish their food. i always put some vegetable every morning before going to work. and by the time i'm home...
yes indeed. they are fly river turtles. at first i thought they are soft shelled. but turns out to be the carapace only look like it's a soft shell. but it is not. it's hard. it's like a normal turtle's carapace but covered by thin layer of skin.
i have read the links you posted. but i don't...
hi there guys. i just adopted new turtles. here are their pictures. please share some information on how to take care of these babies. they're still the size of zippo lighter.
hahaha. yes, i like that pose too. that's why i took the picture. but the other sulcata doesn't sleep with that pose.
but i'm not in US. i'm in Indonesia. and i haven't heard if there's sulcata breeder around here. there is a rumour. but not sure whether it's true or not.
i agree the...
hahaha. thanks for covering for me Dud. yes, i'm from Indonesia. i was in the states before. i stayed in Lincoln, NE. just for high school. i traveled to CA and east coast area. i love new york so much.
the little red foot is currently sick. he doesn't eat much. i'm kinda worry, so i always...
this is the first time i've seen albino tortoise. i know there must be albino tortoise since turtle also have albino. and it's not just 1. but there are 3 here. oh my god............... so incredible. they're so cool. how do you treat them? the same like other red foot? i heard that usually the...
here are my 2 baby sulcatas...... i believe i have 1 captive breed sulcata and 1 wild caught sulcata. i judge that from an expertise short explanation about how to differ the captive breed and wild caught.
sorry if i'm wrong. i'm just following the guidelines.
can you guys differ them?
what???? use bleach??? are you sure? i've been using organic oil up until today to clean them. or i've seen in some reptile shops, they're selling the special tortoise lotion.
you have 23 tortoises and you're 23 years old? wooww... are planning to have another one at the age of 24 and so on? hahaha.... just kidding. but you are great to be able in breeding them. great job there Vince. try to own and breed the almost endangered species. so you can be a hero in saving...
wow Fred.... you got great pets there. you sounded so professional since you already have years of experiences in taking care of reptiles. probably i should learn a lot from you.
welcome again Fred....
yes. you're on the right track here. i also spent quite some time to do research on how to take care of tortoise, what they eat, their characteristics, and so on. until i found that i really believe will be perfect for me.
please feel free to ask about anything. with joining this forum you'll...
hi lynn... i'm not living in the state. so i don't actually know where to get tortoise. but i believe russian is great. they're tough, rarely sick, eats a lot (which shows they're super healthy), and they're active. if i may recommend you, Red Foot or Sulcata will also be great for you. and do...
hahaha..... yep yep yep. dari "Du...Sa..." n "Re...X". nick gw ya mirip2 ini juga namanya.
sorry again guys. this will be the first and last time. because i believe everyone here will appreciate if we use english.
yes. same problem here. i also put cuttle bone in their cage. but i don't seem to see changes with the bone. as if they don't even eat it. but i like it when they're playing with it. they're standing on it. and since they're much smaller, it seems like they're surfing with the bone as the surf...
hmm.... allow me to share my experience with tortoise. i wasn't interested in tortoise at first, i still prefer turtles. but my colleague love tortoise, and sometimes we go to reptile shows and i started to take a look at tortoise. until one day i saw an aldabra and the seller said it can grow...
yep. it happened also to mine. not just sulcata actually. it happened to other tortoises too. so to avoid disease, i usually with put different species into different cage.
oh my god.... i'm so envy you guys. you got to shop for your tortoise through websites. in my country they don't have such website. and it's hard to find particular vitamins or great grass for them. so i usually provide them vegetables only. and occasionally i'll mix calcium powder on the...
