I know little about stars and redfoots. But I'm learning, Thanks to you and others of this forum for teaching me.

Terry, they are beautiful. How close is there habitat needs to the Redfoots?

Totally opposite.. continents and hemispheres apart.

Stars can stand some humidity.. as long as the temps are in the low to mid-80's. And G. elegans are strictly herbivorous.

All tortoises smell.

No more then any other tort.

I guess thank God for allergies....I've never noticed that my tortoises smell. In fact they are pretty odorless compared to my daughters cats, LOL.

Who doesn't like seeing stars!

Congrats and enjoy them!

Ah, okay...since you put it that way. Mine do the same thing!

Your new pair look great Terry

Beautiful Star's Terry. Congratulations!

Do you really think they are 5 yrs old? My 1st pair was that size when I got them and I was told they were around 2 years old. My newest is the same size as yours and was just imported so I was guessing that she would be around 2 as well.
