The Final Image of my beloved tortoise...



I used to have 2 Indian Star Tortoises (Geochelone Elegans), which was bought in November 2006 after one of my green tortoise escaped. But today one of my Indian Star Tortoise had pass away…L. It had left its friend & all of us as well.

When I bought these Indian Star Tortoises that time, it was only a few months old. Each cost RM90, so total RM180. Now they had grown up but still they are easily get sick…

What is the cause of the death I don’t know. All I know is that since few weeks ago, I separated them into 2 different cages because I noticed that one of them got osteoporosis. Its shell was so soft & its size was so much smaller than the other 1. After I separated them, I noticed that this tortoise doesn’t shit at all, so I don’t think it can last long. Later it was infected with eye disease. It can’t open its eye so it can’t find food to eat. Until this morning when I took it for sun bathing it opened its eye! So I thought it’ll recover soon but at around 4.15pm, it doesn’t move anymore…
