I Found A Turtle In My Backyard Wtf!


Recommended Posts

Id adopt him, Ive wanted a turtle for ages. They are cool as, but kind of high maintenance :rofl:

Compared to other pet's they are pretty low maintenance. Long as less you do 1/3 tank water changed once every 2-3wks, have a decent filter & tank set up, they're pretty much otherwise maintenance free. Food wise u just have to mix up their food, so everything from live fish, worms, crickets, etc ... to the frozen meat squares u can buy, and feed them every day or every second. Only other thing u really ned to do is let them out of the tank every so often for a walk around your back yard in the sun. 30mins on a nice day is all they need ;)

Live fish is good entertainment too ... watching them stalk & catch them. :D

I've had turtles for years ... more interesting than fish (IMO).

i'm 99% positive a person has to apply for a reptile license to own a turtoise.

Correct ... every other turtle/tortoise breed except the Eastern Long neck requires a licence to own & keep.

The turtle found is a Eastern Long Neck, so can be kept by anyone as long as less shell length is over 12cm ... otherwise u require a licence.

How about those turtles with the red spots on the side of the head? I always thought they were illegal in Australia, but I've seen them for sale.

yeah you need a licence to own them.

pretty easy to obtain and doesn't cost too much. I had one for a while when l had some short head turtles .... but now onlyhave eastern long necks so don't need to worry.

    • I see what you posted, but how could a warning light be going on and off if there is no sender for it?  The only other explanation is that the wire that used to go to the sender from the warning light is earthing somehow in the loom or at the connector, or that you have connected the warning light wire to something (maybe the temp sender?).  
    • The original pressure sender (switch) had the standard connector and the temp sender had the single terminal connector also. The pressure switch is gone and those wires eliminated from the harness.  I left the temp wire as I too used the temp sender to plug the extra hole. I was hoping for an easy answer but I guess I'm going to need to trace some wires to see where my ghost oil pressure light voltage is coming from or maybe I'll just pull the bulb out as there's no pressure switch any longer.
    • Can you guys tell me a workshop that have installed E85 please and thanks.   I know about Tune house and Powerhouse 
    • Over an year later, I'd like to ask what as your solution in this. Did you keep the R35 coils with the stock ECU? Or slapped the Link in and tossed the 90s chip in the bin?
    • I’m having a gear issue where it doesn’t want to go in 2. It’ll shifts all the way in when car is off, doesn’t like to shift up to second but will shift down into second some times. And I’m curious if you had any alignment issues or if it’s just the transmission. I’m running the serial 9 shifter.
