Testudinidae This paper is the result of a seven year study on a captive group of two males and three females of Indian Star Tortoise (Geochelone elegans). Two-hundred-and-three eggs were produced in 39 clutches. One-hundred-and-thirty-one hatchlings were successfully hatched in an average of 198 days. A positive correlation was noticed between egg size and hatchling size.
