I'd like to share pictures of a baby Ploughshare tortoise.
At this size, it does look like Indian Star with Sulcata shell :)
Can you tell the difference?
I thought my tortoise has quite yellow radiating lines on the shell, so as the skin.
Could this be more towards a Sri Lankan than an Indian Star?
The front one in this picture.
Here are some pictures of a high domed Yniphora, Albino Sulcatas and Radiatas. They belong to some owner here.
I'm sharing them for those who are interested.
There are 23 pictures altogether so they will fit on 2 posts.
Who does not want to own them? :P...
I thought I'd share some of my friends' Yniphora (and some Radiata) pictures here.
This one is High Orange and apparently is still very shy.
Now on to the other ones.
Aren't these little guys too adorable?
Hello, I have two Indian Star and I'm still unsure of their sex.
Experts, please help me clarify this.
The first one is 4.5" long and I think it's a male.
The second one is 4.1" long and I think it's a female.
Thank you :)
I have found an Aldabra juvenile with a distorted shell on sale here where I live. It is about 20% cheaper than the normal ones, but still nobody wants it.
My question is this; Would an Aldabra or any tortoise with a distorted shell grow up to have a normal shell in their adult life? Any...
I have seen an Aldabra swimming in a Seychelle Island documentary. They said that it could swim and survive on the water for up to a month.
I wonder if our captive bred Aldabras are able to swim like in the wild. Have anyone ever tried e.g. maybe during a soak? Do they enjoy swimming? I'm...
My Aldabras and all of my friends' Aldabras are very shy. Everytime I approach them, they always tuck in their heads. I can see over here in Thailand that only big sizes (12"+ long) that are tamed.
I have my young Aldabras for 2 months now. I handle my Aldabras everyday and soak them once...
Hello all. Here are the pictures of my two Aldabras. I have posted some in the picture section already.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. I have a 12" female Sulcata which has some problem. Her reproductive organ is reddish color and swelling. It does not eat and be active as much. She's been like this for more than a week already.
I house her outdoor on grass in this tropical weather here in Thailand...
