Indian Star Tortoise🐢
The Indian Star Tortoise is known for its intricate, radiating yellow shell patterns, which act as camouflage in the wild. Its bold star patterns provide brilliant disruptive colouration in the wild. The lines perfectly mimic the sun breaking through tall grasses, breaking up the tortoise's shape from predators.
The Indian Star Tortoise is a beautiful species of tortoise found in India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.
They can reach sizes of up to 12” and have the most beautiful shell patterning. Female specimens tend to be larger than males, but this isn’t always the case.

These lovely animals are in Appendix 1 for CITEs paperwork, meaning they all come with their own certificates to support their commercial trade. If you are interested in purchasing, we can discuss in more detail what this means for you, the customer.
