There are several species of turtles that can be found in Singapore. For example, the spiny turtle (Heosemys spinosa) and the Malay softshell (Dogania subplana) are both native to Singapore. That being said, I`ve had butter and cookies for a long time and now I want to expand our family by saving more aquatic turtles who need a new home near me. Placement isn`t for everyone, but I feel really good knowing I can help. Like all other pets, turtles can develop health problems. In aquatic turtles, shell infections such as shell rot, respiratory infections, internal parasites, and vitamin A and calcium deficiencies are quite common and all require specialized veterinary care. Terra turtles are semi-aquatic “turtles”, meaning they are a mixture of terrestrial and aquatic animals. Simply put, they are located between a turtle and a turtle. So let us sum it up in generally understandable terms. Most turtles and turtles are omnivores, although some are strictly vegetarian and others carnivorous.
Not only does each species have a varied diet, but in many cases each has a very specific list of foods that are usually only available in their native territory. I still love turtles and turtles and I see them regularly when I can be in the wild or at the zoo. Turtles are dry, blunt-legged turtles that do not swim. They`re no longer legal in Singapore, so unless you`re in a zoo or looking at your child`s pet cards, that term probably doesn`t apply. I have 2 turtles and they don`t take much to take care of them as it says in this article. Of course, like any animal, they need care, but not as it seems. I`ve had them for 2 years now and they`ve never needed so much care, never had to go to the vet or never had a mouse to eat. The only thing I have to do all the time is make sure to clean up the food they don`t eat so the tank doesn`t get dirty, give them water, and sometimes take them outside.
Also just to add something else, I have a dog and he doesn`t try to eat them, I let the turtles run around the house, he will sniff them and run away. I`m pretty sure he`s more afraid of them than he`s afraid of him. I hold them, my turtles love the affection I give them, some people say, “They`re turtles, how do they feel,” but in reality they like to be held, and they love it when I gently rub the top of their head and the underside. I just wanted to go out a bit, but turtles are not difficult to care for, unless you can`t buy food often. (lettuce, apples, sweet potatoes and grapes) I feed my 2 beautiful turtles. I hope this can help someone with some of the information they 🙂 wanted to have. As for those who are worried about being consulted with turtles or owning them, I have not owned them for many years. I don`t have the right place for one. My advice comes from a place where I want to heal, where I hurt.
Instead of hiding or denying my mistakes, I confess to them and try to let others know how I did them so they don`t do the same. -Killed several turtles and turtles and refused to take blame completely. When I say turtles on this page, I`m usually referring to the Red Eared Sliders, NOT the Malay box turtle. What for? Because if you had dropped $150 on a Malaysian box turtle, you probably would have done your research. If you have other species of turtles, the basic care instructions still apply. Your article was very adorable! Admitting your sad mistakes takes courage!! Very useful information! I think I will pass on the possession of a turtle through the detailed and personal experience you have shared. You probably just saved the life of a turtle! What a terrible and careless pet owner, without common sense. That being said, I hope this article serves to deter similar people from preserving and possibly killing turtles/turtles. Since turtles live mainly on land, their shells are curved and offer a better defense against predators.
As for turtles, it is likely that the streamlined shape of their shells helps them swim more efficiently. I read the whole article and quite honestly, while you have some good points. You literally look like an uneducated homeowner. You bought turtles and tortoiseshells and in MANY cases you didn`t have the right environment or you did things that the MAJORITY of turtle/tortoise care items contain. Say NOT to do. It was an interesting article. However, they write about turtles and turtles as if they are interchangeable when they are not. They are indeed very different creatures with different needs, but they are listed as illegal pets in Singapore as they are an endangered species. People who keep tarantulas face up to 2 years in prison, a fine of up to $50,000 per species, or both. I think it took a lot of courage to tell your stories about the difficulty of raising turtles and turtles.
