We can match the #Notadumble with the #Klon at certain EQ points. Super useful for stacking overdrives and effects.

September 2021, smaller than Ella's head. Now in 2025, she's a giant #Burmesestartortoise female and two men. They love hot and humid conditions and are gluttons for greens and produce. These are captive bred in the USA but are critically endangered in Myanmar/Burma.

I can't ever express how much I love my best man @hodagrpg.bsky.social ... and he knows how much I love Hingeback tortoises of the #Kinixys genus. I think this #TTRPG character, Hyngbacker, makes Metrodorus and Moana, two Home's Hingebacks, proud.

The party was awesome till they decided to knock over the fern and extra UVB fluorescent. Star tortoises can't have nice things. #startortoises #startortoise #geocheloneelegans

First drinks. That's a little vermiculite floating in the water -- but she will push those floaters about a week after she first eats.

Fully can vouch for the Minilogue XD if you ever want to get one. I don't have the Minilogue (the original like yours) but I do have the Monologue. But the XD beats out the Monologue although it's money well spent too. Look up Korg MS-20 FS.

Check out the difference in size between these two hatchling #BurmeseStarTortoises from last February, 2024. Same clutch. I also had an egg with deceased conjoined twins.

A more current photo from her posterior. Notice she has a few extra/partial scutes which often correlates to incubation temperature, particularly warmer temps that produce females. They can grow without issues under proper husbandry.

A gifted Radiated tortoise, now several years young and growing beautifully. "She" also is genetically diverse (fully unrelated lineages) whose grandparents were among the first imported in the 60s and 70s. F2 generation! #radiatedtortoise #tortoise #turtle #testudines #chelonians #madagascar
