What a beauty, how fast is istar grow? I mean compare with sulcata, are they share same growth rate?
Sulcatas grow much faster in my experience. A sultcata is bigger than a full adult Indian Star in its first year or two.

Yes tom agreed with you in term of full size. But what about its growth rate per month under normal standard care?

This varies tremendously for both species, but sulcata are much faster growers in most cases, all else being similar.

I have three male Indians, I could use a male Sri Lankan.
I've got what I have been told are two pure sri lankans. If I rnd up downsizing my colonies I woukd be happy for them to go to a good home. One is a female the other is too small to even guess. They have had some health issues as have not had ideal care from previous owner. I am texting from phone and don't want to revise sorry for the sloppy spelling errors. I am probably going to keep them though. I just wanted to let you know. I rarely see anything about sti lankans. I hope mine grow up as nice as yours.
