Indian star setup

[spud's_mum]

So I walked into the pet shop to get gerbil toys and came out with an Indian star hatchling. The story is on this thread: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/oops.143077/#post-1340218

I am picking him/ her up tomorrow and I plan on keeping him in an aquarium for the moment.

It would be great if you could post pics of your setup and tips are very welcome.
Also, I am under the impression that they eat mostly weeds and grasses. Am I right?

Thank you!

Here's a picture of the enclosure I have my Burmese Stars in. I wrote a thread on the enclosure as noted below...



Here's the thread I did on the enclosure I built for my Burmese Stars.

Just make sure to keep him warm. Closed chamber would be the best. I wouldn't let it drop below 80f with high humidity. At least until he's a could years old.

My Indians/Sri Lankan adults can handle temps as low as 70F with high humidity.

Burmese are a different story. They can handle lower temps much better even as a hatchling.
