haha. actually these are all illegal here.

those that died:
greek:
due to dehydration. it was my 1st tortoise. it was fed with lettuce only. no water. but when i feed them some hay for rabbits this girl ended up with dehydration

sri lanka stars, leopard:
due to internal parasites. another stupid mistake of mixing all my tortoises together.

razorback musks:
my 1st turtles. the filter was too strong and they were trapped under a small corner behind the filter n drowned.

the survivors:
radiated star:
survived the mass internal parasite infection and grew more than double its size during his time with me.

matamata:
grew around double his size when he was with me too. my favorite of all my turtles. although i have to admit that i hate them when i saw their images online. i really find them very ugly until i saw this turtle alive right in front of me.

african helmeted head and common african helmeted head:
got both of them together. also grew around double their sizes when with me. should be both females but the common african helmeted head was always quite aggressive towards the other one. they even bit the shell of my matamata when i had the 3 of them together.


now all of the survivors are in the zoo pending display which i dont know when it will be. after some kind hearted citizen complained that i have a FRT. because the FRT is big it was confirmed to be legal (i.e. before the ban kicks in) so i got to keep the FRT. but the survivors here are all sent to the zoo. and the person who took them away from me told me they are in very good condition.

when i caught the matamata out for him he was so amazed that it was tame. he thought they are very aggressive and will bite.

Dude sorry but you shouldnt be keeping things like radietad and sri-lanka stars unless you are a really comited ,experienced and with lots of outdoors space hobbist trying to breed them. They are simply to rare and endangered to have as pets. And you lost your star Also leopards and greeks is something to think about when you live in Arizona, spain, etc and you have a farm house, not indoors in Singapure Also what in hell is that blue thing you use for substrate That alone could kill them

i was committed. but lack of experience. i did my research even before or just after i got them. greeks don't grow very big. but i understand that leopards do grow up till around 2ft carapace length. Radiated are very hardy species n mine was the sole survivor.

u mean those grey pellets in the tub? those are cat litter made of recycled paper. i did showed them to the vet when i brought them for treatment of the internal parasites. the vet did not say anything about those substrates.

i will never be able to keep any of them any more. so for now i can only concentrate on my FRTs. the "female" FRT is getting too aggressive and i will not try to keep her with the male anymore.

Had a great collection, love the stars, mata mata and the razorbacks.

thanks.
