i'm learning about this specie and will probably post a lot of question if i get them.
On the first pic the skin on the leg looks bigger than the other tort...
Is it normal ?
They look great. Find out how they are housed and fed. That will tell you if they are taken care of in a healthy way. Good luck. Let us know if you get them.
I hear stars are subject to pyramiding, or at least extremely hard to prevent. Ive seen multiple zoo exhibits all with stars pyramided. Most likely part of the name star . They look in good condition though.

With mainland Indian Stars, they are about as prone to pyramiding as any other tortoise, but with stars from Sri Lanka, it seems they are more prone to pyramiding. The star name comes from the yellow radiating lines on the scutes of their carapace.
These look pretty good. I do see what you are talking about with the extra skin, which I don't think would be a big issue. It's hard to guess the sex with these two at this size.
Very pretty! Im no expert but the one on the left in the last picture looks like a little porker to me Just putting on the weight at the hips and thighs
Effectivly one looks fatter than the other.
To my opinion, i don't think it's a risk.
Maybe she needs a little more activity, but if i buy them they will be in a big terrarium.
They can walk a lot and climbing !
I will keep you update.
Thanks for your opinion
