Hello, I am looking for a book titled: The Biology and Status of the Star Tortoise in Sri Lanka by Anslem Silva

Hello, I am selling 2 books on African tortoises. These books have valuable information and cool information on Kinyxis, Chersina, Psammabotes, Homopus, Stigmochelys, etc, but doesn’t have information on the Testudo species that occur in North Africa. Both are out of print I am asking $100...

Hello, I am helping a friend rehome some baby desert tortoises in Phoenix. These are only a few weeks old. Please only experienced tortoise keepers. Must be able to prove you will be able to provide excellent care, or provide reputable references.

These pics are comparing growth of some of my stars from last year to this year. They spend the majority of their time outside in Phoenix unless temps drop below 70. When temps go above 110, I move them to a pen that is partially shaded.

This photo is about 4 months old. The Sri Lankan Stars in this photo are about 6-9 months old.

The largest on left was born Feb 2018. The two medium sized ones were born Feb 2019. The two smallest ones on the right were born Feb 2020.

Recently, I purchased 3 Sri Lankan Stars from Gus (@G-stars) in person. I have nothing but good things to say about him. He is knowledgable, prompt to reply to questions, friendly, fair, professional, honest, and humble. His animals are thriving, healthy, and beautiful. I would definitely do...

Just wanted to share the size difference between Burmese Star Tortoises born in June/July 2018 and March 2019. Crazy how fast they grow in less than a year!

I forgot to let others know who may not know. The BCC recently released their video of South Africa, which is the richest region in different tortoise species. There isn't much footage out there on some of these elusive tortoises. Highly recommended! In addition, proceeds from the DVDs helps...
