So to stray a little from routines, I have indulged myself with some cold-blooded friends ;-)
Leopard tortoise - saw some for sale in KL, but with a RM650 price tag, getting this fella a mate is going to be painful :-D
Red-footed tortoise - appears to be growing quite fast. Keeping a pair. One appears to be significantly bigger than the other.
Elongated tortoise - listed as endangered. My friend who kept it for some time (5 years?) said it's a female. Would be interesting if I could find a male.
Asian brown giant tortoise - need a license to keep according to the new law being enforced. The biggest tortoise specie found in Malaysia.
Yellow-spotted river turtle - originated from the jungles of Amazon....
Ah! how's that for a little diversion from all things avian :-D
