Thanks guys.. sayang bitaw..

Hinatag raman pud gud ni sya sa akong amigo. If I remember right, nakasuccessfully breed sya ug RES kay anak naman daw ni sa iyang turtles. Ambot sad kung atik ra pud to niya, but when I told him I like pets, gitagaan raman pud ko niya the next day.. so possible siguro na nakahatch gyud sya.

I just took care of the turtle the best way I knew how kay wa pa may istorya ato gud

case to case basis man gyud ang melanism... for example, akong mga pinalangga: stewart is almost black na unya olivia still maintains the rich green to yellowgreen color... both living on the same tank, same food and same amout of sunlight...

I-substrate nimo ang riversand? dili gyud pwede nang pebbles or naai mga bato-bato... if nahan gyud mo ug sand kai kanang sand na pariha ka-pino sa sand sa portofino... lisud na au if makakaon inyong bao ug bato...

res keepers suggest using smooth big river rocks na dili pwede makaon sa bao as the best substrate... and some - like me - opt to not have no substrate at all.
