Welcome!

Where are you from?

I LOVE Indian Stars but have never seen one in person! you are fortunate to have FIVE!!!

 

[Dud]

well im from indonesia... >.< long way from there huh ??


indian star r common in my place.. theirs like sulcatas in USA

now im planning to build a tortoise table for my Indian Star

 

[Itort]

Great. Another star owner. In the USA they are one of the more less available torts. I have two and consider myself lucky to have them.

 

[Dud]

but sadly most of star tortoise were wild caught... so their population decrease significantly..

im planning on breeding these majestic creatures.. but it still a long way there


oh yeah btw

indian star lay only 2 eggs every 6 months

and in the wild theyve taken 15 indian star every week...

imagine.

They are beautiful! The statistics you have quoted are sad. Do they have breeding programs?

 

[Itort]

I wish you luck with your breeding. I am also planning on that. What I try to impress on people that as pretty as they are, they also can be difficult to keep. The are not for beginners.

 

[Dud]

yep theyre not for beginners they easily caught an RNS...

Hi Dud, those torts are lovely! A few people do keep them in the UK where I am, but I stick with Hermanns as it's quite a challenge to provide the right conditions for stars here because of the weather.

I hope one day you do go on to breed with them as this would help the wild ones and no doubt give you much enjoyment too.
