Just a quick update on the Burmese Star group I got almost 9 months ago now. I also added 3 more Burmese to the group 2 1/2 months ago, and they are now about the size the first group was when I got them. SO it is interesting to see one next to the other for comparison. This is my largest female who was 2nd to the smallest when I got the group. When I got her mid March, she was 5 years old. She was 5.26" long and weighed 427 g. Today she is 8.3" long and weighs 1650 g. I put her next to one of the new females that is now 5.15" and 430g so it is a great comparison of how much she has grown in just shy of 9 months.
I also have been anxious to see what happens to the pyramiding they had when I got them. Here is a shot today if a side view showing how the new growth is coming in so much flatter.
Here's a group shot. Feeding time after the bath for the females...
Their salad of greens complete with my special "tortoise salad dressing" I use.
