burmese star tortoise

Our Burmese Star tortoise is now a little over 4yrs old (hatch date approx 04/2018) and 7 1/2" in length. He is outside full time and loves South Florida Summer. Afternoon rains and he's under his favorite bamboo plant. We renamed him "Rambo" as it fits his personality. Purchased from @Tom

Im curious as to what the normal weight gain of a baby Burmese star tortoise should be. I do weigh my tortoise daily, but really look at an average of the weeks weights to see how the baby is progressing. In the last month my 4 month old has gone from 30g to 36g. My 6 month old has gone from...

Hello there, I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice with my enclosure. I got this 4x2 cause I got a sweet deal for $100 but I'm worried that the height is a little too short. It's 12 inches in height. So I am not sure if I should exchange it with something else. Or just keep it. Some...

4-year-old Burmese Star tortoise has been biting his own front legs, not drawing blood, but in a mildly aggressive manner. He's extremely friendly and is not aggressive towards other tortoises in their table. We took him to our vet. X-rays were negative for arthritis and joint problems that...

I recently purchased a Burmese Star Tortoise from Tom (AKA: Captain Knowledge). He is a very well respected member here at Tortoise Forum. Tom and I were discussing several different species of tortoise before making my decision to go with a Burmese Star. He and I were initially discussing the...

Hi Friends, I have been learning about Burmese Stars for over a year now. I think I may be ready to take the leap! Who is the best breeder? Can you guys give me a general price range to expect? I'm hoping to find a very healthy and outgoing hatchling or well started baby who is very...

First post here, just arrived two Burm Stars (TSM and TSF) from Chris Leone at Garden State Tortoise - who I highly recommend as a Burm breeder. Looking forward to working with this species since I've spent the last 17 years working with Redfoot's and Russian's (all doing great) after the...
