Guys!!!!!
Here are two pictures of 2 different Indian star tortoises. The star pattern on their shells is different from each other. Yet both are Indian stars.
Do they both have any specific names.
3rd picture is mine(2 smooth shelled). Why do they don't have exact star patterns like the star in 2nd picture? Will the pattern develop into exact star when they are grown to adults?

There three types of star torts you find in the world:Indian ,Sri-lankan,Burmese.
You have got yourself star torts that's all i can say you will come to know the type when they grow a bit older(definitely not burmese)like 6-7 yrs old.
They all can grow patterns like the 2nd pic when they get older.Also, they do develop exact star pattern in some torts but that all depend on their genes
