RE: Indian Star tortoise

but as i notice from most star tortoise owners, they are very slow in growth. even within a year the size will still remain the same. am i right? or probably the star owners i know are not taking care of the stars properly?

RE: Indian Star tortoise

That's probably because they are males?.. not sure. You read the article and webpage.. mine grew to about 10cm the first 4 years ( from hatchlings ) and the males maybe 2 - 2.5cm the next 2 1/2 years.. whereas the female has grown 8 - 9cm during that time. She's now in the 18cm range.
