3 hours that is very optimistic! However, it will be worth it.

Hi Wendy

Im planning on doing a talk on keeping and breeding the Indian star tortoise ( Geochelone Elegans) , both some natural history and some history of my work with them .

But also a little on the captive care Geochelone Platynota ( the Burmese Star Tortoise) and their status in the wild and the work being done with this critically endangered species both in their native country and around the world.


Meet Marmite


And a rehomer with a history



If the weather has warmed up a bit then i hope to bring some Stars with me.

Im also planning on bringing some Cacti "opuntia's or prickly pears " to sell as well.



Regards Andy

that is a very good idea, they should video all the presentation/events so that owners that cant make these events, can watch the videos on youtube and then we wont miss out X
