Pennsylvania Stars

Here are some pictures of my CB Indian star tortoises. I took these last year right after I got them.

The male gave me a scare last month when it became ill and wouldn't eat for 3 weeks. The vet first gave me Fortaz injections which had no effect. Then he switched to daily shots of Baytril which did the trick. He is now back to himself and eating like a horse.

They are no doubt the most beautiful animals in my collection.

My star pair. Male is on the left, female on the right.


Female star tortoise.

When I took them out of the shipping box I also was struck by how beautiful their skin color/patterns were. I am quite proud of them. Big Grin

Beautiful!

They are such captivating torts. I can sit and watch them for the longest time just doing their thing.
