So there is not really a "care sheet" in the star tortoises thread, and I think I have a grasp on what there requirements are but please correct me if I am wrong and make adjustments to my presumptions.
Humidity:
-High 80% minimum (obvious)
Diet:
-Grasses and weeds mainly, greens and mazuri accordingly.
Temp:
80-85 cool side
90-95 warm side
100-105 basking
(I am quite unsure about temps)
Housing:
Indoor- 4x8 per specimen.
Outdoor- As much space as possible with shade and grass and weeds/plants for grazing.
QUESTIONS:
-can more than one animal be housed together (i understand the general rule of thumb with housing tortoises together).
-was i anywhere close on their temperatures? I based it off of african species temperatures because I know how hot slme regions can be over there.
-what is the difference between indian/sri lankan, burmese, and radiated? Is it just there markings and region they inhabit.
Thank you for the help in advance. This is truly a species I kneo very little about.
