30-year-old Sri Lankan Star tortoise

Dec 16, 2008

The pet tortoise we have is about 12 pounds in weight. It could be more - I do not have a spring balance to weigh this animal with accuracy. It is restricted to our small garden and is fed daily on legumes, leafy vegetables and boiled rice. We had this tortoise as a very small animal about 30 years ago. It is quite tame and approaches humans for food. Nocturnal predators like civet cats abound in this area but this tortoise is too large and heavy for them. I have attached a photo.
