Pelleted diets... yea... again
Here is a brief update on a couple of tortoises that you've seen in the past. This is also some photos of my Stars to get Kelly off my arse.
These are my Stars which are about 7 years old. I'm guessing they were the same age and size when I got them at 2 inches SCL. This is the male. This is the female. This is the pair together. The female is about 6 inches SCL. The male has been mounting the female in the last few months. I don't expect anything to come of it. This is my Spider tortoise. These tortoises have been fed a pelleted diet exclusively.

They look lovely Ed. Can I ask if you feed them on a daily basis?

Up until recently I was feeding them once a week. Now I'm feeding every 3 days.
You can feed daily but I suggest limiting the quantity because of the high nutritious value of the diet. Thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

Temps 80 to 90F... no UV... quite dry. I will be adding a humid hide. All my animals have been kind of neglected the last few years.
