Finding a mate for the poor turtle is so difficult...hehe

I dont think that hard actually ( I reckon there must be a few in private hand somewhere in this world)

Even if there is who dare to surface due to CITES , Law right behind them if they do ( Obtained illegally maybe )

my advice is just stick tp tropical species loike elongated opr red footed. star, pancake, radiated, sulcate etc will surely die in our humidity over time. Donty trust all the lies by the pet shop or sellers as they just want to offlead their stock. When u buy these s\desert tortoise like star etc you're just putting them in misery, then they become sluggish, get RNS and die. Even the big ones will die, cos theyre just wild caught, then smuggled here into an alien climate, bacteria etc, not to mention stress during the journey. if the seller says that he has kept a star for a long time then show photographic and actual animal proof of husbandry over the years , size, diet, growth, medication etc. i bet most of them unscrupulous conmen  cant even do that.

Not all will surely die but do agree that some will and in the wrong hand( inexperience one especially ) most if not all will !!

I know of many growing up just fine and some even managed to breed !!

The longest LTC star I know of is turning 18 years this year in captivity !!

indian star small one market price how much ar?? thinking to keep one or two... kekeke
but 1 thing is me now study at KL.. if me back sabah.. the tort can bring with me together go to sabah??
*
Now small one also pass the RM 200 mark !! I think but nowadays you rarely see them being offered for sale openly !!

Sabah ! You from Sabah too !!

You cant bring them back legally !!

But if only 1 or 2 and are small just pack in bag and bring back !!

But they are sold in Sabah fish shop too so why take those risk ( bring back illegally )

They would !! Therefore I mention about not bringing too many and keep them small and PRAY hard that the operator working on the scanner do not notice !!!

Those almost all gone ( sold ) except for holdback !!

Those are about the 1+ to 2 inch range !! And are just the regular Indian Star Tortoise


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I cant sell you any as they are not mine !! But I dont think price will be right as those are " exported " !!!
