I recently purchased a Sri Lankan Star Tortoise from tortoise town. I ordered the tortoise as a 1 year old and to be female. I have a few questions.
Is this typically the size of a 1 year old Sri Lankan star tortoise? My sulcata was twice the size by the time he was one. Ik they are totally different tortoises in size but I’m just wondering.
Ik that there is no way to tell at this age the sex difference at this age but I noticed the tortoise has a wide anal scute. I ordered the tortoise as a female... could have they possibly given me a male?
I have been told they are really shy tortoises. Am I just going to have to be around her a lot to not be scared and nervous?
Thx, Jacob
