Tubby My New Giant Fly River turtle

[ernest]

Man that thing is only 5kgs and its 14 inches / 40cms!! Thats crazy i expected it to be alot heavier... where are you located in the world buddy?

I got a FRT and its only a baby...

I m frm sunny singapore garden city in asia

My baby FRT is a fin nipper, has taken chunks out plenty of fish. Also is a killer, has eaten 6 of my Geophagus Atifron I's at approx 5cm. Must hunt them down while they are sleeping, lights off. These turtles are nocturnal so will roam around and bite of sleeping fish. I tested this theory out by leaving my moon light on over night, guess what... no missing fish!! Cute.. but he is a killer!

Impressed.

Quite a large specimen.

Hope it does amazingly well for you.

I get jealous when I look at Tubby's shell coz my FRTs used to have nice shell like Tubby's till they got bitten by a bored stingray and peckish severums

The shell after healing, just don't look as nice as before.

I don't have a problem with my FRTs biting fishes because they don't.

Nice!

Tubby doesn't look that big when comparing to the batteries Oo

seems like we Singaporeans are always making people in MFK jealous with our FRT collections.

I totally agree with most. something must be done for it to have a better growth. I would consider Tubby to be quite fortunate to be able to have that tank size. I know of someone with a FRT of around the same size in a 4x2x2.

I only wish we could rehome them over to those who want them
There is just too many unwanted FRTs here
And they get abandoned n most end up in poor condition

provided they can get CITES permit for us to send the FRTs over.
