New Star Tortoises!

[jpeck425]

Well, I always admired Star Tortoises and had planned on saving-up for a pair at this summer's Daytona Expo. An opportunity unexpectedly popped-up and after years of waiting, I finally got my pair of Indian Star Tortoises.

I must say that they exceeded my expectations. I always thought they were beautiful, but never realized their personalities were such a delight! They are little eating machines and very friendly. I was able to get 1.1 2003 CB. Here are some pics.

This is the female.

This is the male.

Thanks for looking. Be well.

Thanks, I actually worked out a good deal through selling a few miscellaneous tortoises. My total investment counting the trades is about $350.00. I was expecting to pay about $1200.00 in August.

Thanks, I've always liked the Bell's Hingebacks that you have. I think they stop importing them into the US. I have a small group of Forest Hingebacks I'm hoping to breed by next year.

Be well

Thanks,
They are about 4.5". From what I understand the male is getting close to full size, but the female has some growing yet. The price was for the pair.

Be well

Thanks Robyn and Jaqui,

They are proving to be great additions to the family. I'm looking forward to redesigning a few of the pens to create more room for everyone. I could definitely see me expanding more into the Stars.

Be well
