hello guys.. .. im excited to join this forum...
try 2 find more n more info bout tortoise

right now i have 5 indian star (geochelone elegans)

Welcome!

Where are you from?

I LOVE Indian Stars but have never seen one in person! you are fortunate to have FIVE!!!

well im from indonesia... >.< long way from there huh ??


indian star r common in my place.. theirs like sulcatas in USA

now im planning to build a tortoise table for my Indian Star

Great. Another star owner. In the USA they are one of the more less available torts. I have two and consider myself lucky to have them.

but sadly most of star tortoise were wild caught... so their population decrease significantly..

im planning on breeding these majestic creatures.. but it still a long way there


oh yeah btw

indian star lay only 2 eggs every 6 months

and in the wild theyve taken 15 indian star every week...

imagine.

They are beautiful! The statistics you have quoted are sad. Do they have breeding programs?

I wish you luck with your breeding. I am also planning on that. What I try to impress on people that as pretty as they are, they also can be difficult to keep. The are not for beginners.

yep theyre not for beginners they easily caught an RNS...

Hi Dud, those torts are lovely! A few people do keep them in the UK where I am, but I stick with Hermanns as it's quite a challenge to provide the right conditions for stars here because of the weather.

I hope one day you do go on to breed with them as this would help the wild ones and no doubt give you much enjoyment too.

thanks for the comments guys !!
