- The Burmese Star Tortoise (Geochelone platynota) is an endangered tortoise from Myanmar formerly known as Burma. The Burmese Star Tortoise is a beautiful tortoise and it has been doing well in captivity with captive breeding programs taking a few hundred tortoises and increasing their numbers into the thousands. In the US captive hatched specimens are available from multiple breeders.
In this video I will be showing my growing creep of Burmese Star Tortoises. In a previous video I introduced my first three Burmese Stars. In this video you will see how those tortoises have grown as well as see my outdoor tortoise enclosure and my three new Burmese star tortoises. With some luck I will be able to breed some of these tortoise in the next few years.

You are right, there aren't enough of these videos on Star tortoises. Please make more. I've got a baby Sulcata and next month I get my baby Star. It would be great if you can make more, it will help my journey to no end and the service would be invaluable. Great video.
Thanks for watching. I bet I will eventually make a couple more videos. But, I don’t have a giant collection of tortoises.
@@AllenNewberry You don't have to have many, the upside is for focus on them rather than videos where they have hundreds.
Great video, Allen! Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks!
When they breed and hatch, make sure you save me a few. Love to own a few of them
I can’t wait! But, it will be at least a year or two.
Wonderful video! Great to see some Burmese stars growing. Please do a video on your indoor housing. I live in Virginia and mine will be living indoors more than being outside. I am also paranoid and will let mine outside when I’m around and never nights.
I have some new housing on order. I may post something when I get it all set up in a few months.
yes!!! me too please save one for me!!! tortoise town is on backorder
Beautiful males. All beautiful.
I agree! Can’t wait to see what they produce.
Great video. I just got a baby star and he is very shy and sleeps all day. Do you have any tips to help him be less shy and more active ? Thanks a bunch
I named my three baby tortoises all unisex Myanmar names

all incubated for female although just by looks (even though still hit or miss) i may have 2 females (both Ms) and one male (K)
Cool! Fun tortoises. Hard to tell which sex they are when they are small though. Kind of a wait until it looks male or it has gotten so big that if it was going to start looking like a male it would have by now.
Beautiful tortoises do you have any for sale 👀💚🐢
Sorry but I do not.
I hope you realize he may outlive you!!!
They may very well.
Do you recommend any breeders looking for one?
Any updates?
How large do these get
They a good medium sized tortoise. Not huge but not small either.
why are they so expensive?
They are endangered and cannot be shipped in from other countries. So, all the new tortoises are captive bred.
