Why not you go and have a look at it yourself? It only takes you about an hour of ferry trip and another 45minutes of bus journey...from penang jetty that is

I will go there when im free again...hopefully it aint sold by then

burmese stars are sold in Ks bro, not hundreds. rm300 is impossible.

like i said, sometimes indian stars do have carapace pattern that resembles burmese star. so carapace pattern is not a valid method to determine the species. got to check on pattern on plastron and/or other minor differences.

Added on November 10, 2008, 6:59 amDo you know how much a CB or WC Burmese Star can sell in Taiwan , Japan , Hong Kong , US ............ Why would a breeder want to sell to Malaysia and for less than USD 100 a pc !!!

hahaha. i remembered the owner. Looks like an ah moi but sadly she isn't

seems to have alot of BURMESE STAR WANNABE in the market.

Guys, instead of asking whether yours is a burmese or a indian. why not google up and check the difference. You will get a better understanding on the diff btw them. if you ask us, we will just answer NO is not a burmese. Therefore do some reading on star tortoise.

For those who say you see this and that at this particular price bla bla bla. Dude, check the price in overseas and local pricing that was once offered. YOU AINT GETTING FOR THAT PRICE that you mention not by chance.

The resemble or look like but THEY ARE NOT. so just move on and admire the beauty of burmese star.

Uzairi...still remember the burm you keep. hehe

I cant remember the name of the shop...but its somewhere around Raja Uda en route to the jetty...quite a small but clean pet shop...do remember to take some pictures of the tortoises...thanks

Its weird, dont expect to get any burmese star that cheap.

Not really...the radiata hatchlings are sold for US2grands plus in the overseas...but in penang...you could get it for around RM7xx...if you really tour around the pet shops in our northern region...you will really be shocked...and do you know that there was a batch of diamondback hatchlings being sold for RM8x per piece in Penang and Butterworth? Dont just follow the prices in central or southern region...

Do you meant the aquarium near appollo ?

Radiated are expensive oversea due to them being on CITES I and thus if not CB with the proper papers are not allowed for sale !!

Whereas over here they are imported from many places ( most/all without CITES ) thus the lower price !! There are also claims that they are produced locally with papers too !!!

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

Beside CH and CB they ( Radiated ) could be WC ( larger specimen) as there are still so many of them both in their native island country and some nearby island where they are introduced !! In comparison for example the Burmese Star which are considered extinct in the wild !!

Malaysia don't have any act on the Tortoise ... it is true ?? CITES is only apply when you wanna import or export ... right ?

Dude...im a burmese ST lover and have been hunting around for this sp for years...i could be mistaken sometimes but you think i would make this sort of joke in front of you the gurus? That one on the most upper second right grabs my intention the most but its caraspace pattern does not really seem convincing to me

If you are such a Burmese ST lover and saw one being offered for RM 300 a pc why dont you get it !! I would for sure !!
