Hello and welcome.

Here is a care sheet for how to raise a healthy star tortoise. https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/how-to-raise-a-healthy-star-tortoise.159167/

This pretty much applies to the Indian/ Sri Lankan Star tortoise and Burmese star tortoise. Although from my experience the Burmese star can handle cooler temps much better. When searching for a star tortoise please find a good breeder that will start them of the correct way. There are still some breeders who start them off dry which may cause issues in the future, such as pyramiding, stunted growth, liver problems, and even death.
