Your comment is very missleading. i dont know for others, but my group of friends that we keep star,radiata,pancake and etc...all are doing very fine and all are healthy bugger. Instead of giving your advice of not keeping why not do more research on how to keep those tortoise before you comment. I had two pancakes that have been with me for years. Not a single problem with them. You can browse thru my photos that i have uploaded. Radiated tortoise is one of the hardy tortoise. They are pretty easy to take care not much of requirement. As for star tortoise, i think most of us have their fair share of story related to star tortoise. The main thing is that they way they are brought into the country and they are stress. Furthermore, star tortoise is very prone to flu. Therefore much attention is needed for them. That only happen to Indian or Sri Lankan Star. Burmese star i have no problem with them. Therefore kindly retract your advice and comment.

To Beardiekid: Elongata is land tortoise.
