Here is one with my top-paid employee with a group of baby stars out in the sun. He protects everything from flipping over in the sun, full time.

Great picture. You are lucky to have such a dedicated employee! I value my diminutive help as well. The fact is, my life would be MUCH more difficult without them.

Love this thread.
So I have to contribute my brandnew pet star tortoise.
Here he is:
2 Inch big, probably about 7 month old.

Please keep posting pictures! I love to see your stars.

@Tortoise_Lover - I'm guessing by looking at your tortoise that you are not in the US? It seems like all the stars here have thin lines on their shalls, that one of yours is very nice!

Sky2Mina - Keep posting pictures as he grows, I think he will be a nice one as well.

AGILETORTS........do you know if yours are sri lankans or indian star northern/southern/mainland??? Im still trying to figure the differences and i swear its so confusing and conflicting.

 

[agiletorts]

Terry - thanks for the kind words.

Silverstar - I was told by the seller that they're Sri Lankans. But since I didn't buy them directly from the breeder and see the parents, I cannot tell for sure. I just have to take the seller's words. At first I really would like to know, but now I don't really care anymore, I just love them!

 

[SILVERSTAR]

same here,id like to know but i jus think all mine are outstanding no matter wut i supposedly have one indian and two sri lankans.

 

[Sky2Mina]

tortoise_lover - wow, your big one has an outstanding pattern. very nice stars!

agile torts - they look great! How big are they? (in the picture and now)
and... did you arrange them that way to take the pic or did u catch them walking around? lol

AGILETORTS' stars are "mainland" It is very very unlikely that the 'northern/southern' ever make it to the pet-trade SILVERSTAR.

Look at Kristina's Sri's and compare them with most of the rest here. There is nothing confusing and conflicting about it. Look at the patterns and space between them.

Also the "mainland" FEMALE G. elegans almost always have the fewer thinner lines on the carapace patterns!

At 4" SCL -

At 5" ~ 7" -

That was easy.......
