Thanks for the comment. It is kind of cool to be able to see the whole journey.

I forgot to mention that this female is named Annie Oakley.

Here is my largest Burmese Star Calamity Jane With a peak weight of 4086.

Here is the smallest female Bonnie Parker. She weighs in at 3450g.

Here are my two males Burning Man & Starman. One is a little under 2,000g and the other is a little over.

This is the female that laid the eggs. Her peak recorded weight was 3728g. Granted I wasn’t weighing very frequently.

I am overdue for some tortoise pics. Perhaps if the weather allows I can try to get a few photos.

My first Burmese Star Tortoise eggs have now gone from diapause in a wine fridge to incubation in a fancy incubator. They were scattered not buried and this is a first time layer. So, may not pan out. But, I am glad to get my first platynota eggs.

Nice one!

I got a parrot a couple of years ago that I think would object to another bird. But, I really have gotten a lot busier with tortoises and kids etc. and worry about a lack of time. I have kept up with my permit though. So, one of these days I may jump back in.

Such cool birds!

They have been growing well. They are around 3,500g, 3,000g, and 2,400g. And I have a couple of males for the larger two to hang out with.

Yep. I have been fine so far. But, now I have a couple females up to breeding size. So, I would like to get them into a more laying conducive setup.

Still still waiting... 8.5 months into what was supposed to be a 4-5 month wait.

Being very pretty does have an impact on popularity. But, really they are functionally extinct in the wild. They are starting to reintroduce them in the wild though. So, there is hope. However, they just had a coup in Myanmar where they are from. Also, I don’t think there ever were large...

Nice and smooth. I always like the eating pictures when you catch them with their mouths open mid chomp.

Good looking tortoise!

Soaking time! Anyone get any good Burmese Star photos lately?

I appreciate the advice and information!
