Looking great, Colin!

At 500g should be able to tell a male. So for now, they sure look like 3 females to me.

A male would have a bigger/longer tail by now and the supracaudal would be a bit more curved under.

It makes me extremely sad to have to do this, but unfortunately my living situation has recently changed, and I am not longer able to keep tortoises

If anyone is interested in adding 3 female juveniles to their collection/breeding group, please let me know!

Hello all,

I recently acquired 3 hatchling Burmese Star tortoises from @Markw84, as well as one of his smart enclosures! It was a pleasure doing business with Mark. His closed chamber smart enclosures are extremely well built and very aesthetically pleasing. I can tell he put a lot of work into it, and it was worth every penny. His animals are beautiful and very well started. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to purchase a Burmese Star to contact Mark. He is very knowledgable and answered all of my questions via email and text message for months until I finally had the tortoises in my possession. I know Mark will continue to work with me to answer any further questions for years to come. Thanks again Mark, for the awesome enclosure and incredible animals.

I am creating this thread to not only share these tortoises with all of you, but to also document their grow throughout the years. I would love to hear any and all feedback you guys have regarding improvements and suggestions on my husbandry. I want to be sure these little ones receive the best care possible. Thanks for joining me on this new journey! I can't wait to watch them grow.
