I am only seeing one male 'E'. I will take another look at the pics but my experience is with Indian Stars, how old are these guys?

A) is a hard one. The anal scute tips appear to be pointing in and that to me would indicate female, but the angle of the picture could just make them look that way. The tail block says male. How old are these?
B) Female
C) Female
D) Female
E) Male

You might want to wait and see if Danny looks at them.

hello everyone thank you for looking. my name is matt and i am on oahu. These are sri lankan stars. B and C are just under four years old. A, D, and E are just three years old. A, D, and E, are from Mr Douglas Beard and B and C are from the kranzes. Here is a pic of all of them A-E in order of largest to smallest, with A being the largest one and E being the smallestStars A-E.jpg

E being a male makes sense since he is the smallest. A was incubated for male but seeing as how he is the biggest and a year younger than B and C i am thinking female as well. Any body have any 3-5 year old sri lankan males for sale or trade if it turns out i have four females or even all five?

I still am only seeing one male, but I am bumping this up for Danny and/or Douglas B/Elegans.

I have not been here in a while, I would say that you have all females. I have seen a tortoise "develope" into a male at those sizes over the course of a summer. But they all look like girls to me. Not that is a bad thing. The first group of babies that we got turned out to be 8.2 out of 10 which really sucked. My new cell# is 786-320-4730 home remains the same 305-246-3129 Douglas
