My couple of G. elegans

Hi all..
this is my couple of Geochelone elegans...I think a least the male is from Sri Lanka (It is captive bred, but I think Sri Lanka form). The female is South Indian form...maybe Wink ;)

Male on the left, female on the right

Female plastron

Male plastron

Best regards
Wink ;)

Tortoises are venomous right?

Beautiful Stars. I love the shade differences and the slight pattern differences. Please keep those pics coming. Smile

Very nice Stars Davide Big Grin I agree with Terry about the male. He's a South Indian Star like your female. He looks to be WC and she is CB.

RE: My couple of G. elegans

Thank you for compliments.
On CITES of female there is written she is from Sri Lanka, but I'm sure she is South Indian and if the male is South Indian too.....so much the better.
The person who gave me the male told me he is cb. But I don't think so. He is so perfect.
