These hatched in early 2000.. I acquired them in Oct. '04 at about 4" and was told by a very reliable source last Dec. [ '06 ] that there could be breeding activity as soon as the summer of '07.

You'll see why I say he is reliable.

Our female.. As seen in the Jan. '08 Reptiles magazine - "Species Profile"..

That is wonderful Terry.
Are the eggs fertile and incubating?

Thanks ALL!!! I AM Blessed. I'm just one of those "OLD nerds" that doesn't do much but my best at helping other enthusiasts get healthy, well-started tortoises and turtles.. and some are kinda pretty :rolleyes: Be sure to snoop around my website.

The female is right at 7.5".. the pic of that male is a little deceiving because of the location of the ruler - he's actually less than 6".

The eggs are incubating.. too early to tell if 'viable' - ( the proper term )

Take a look here.. http://www.turtletary.com/stars.html

A special thanks to Anja.. for getting me here.

Terry
