Sri Lanken Star Tortoise

[design]

Introducing India the Sri Lanken Star tortoise. She is a hatchling about the size of a golf ball. She is right now in a sealed 75 gallon tank with two hides. All heat and humidity are controlled with thermostat and whatever the humidity version is called. Lol

She arrived yesterday and went right to soak. We finally have a humid enough day and some heat today so she got to graze, under constant watching by me, outside in the yard.

Today she has grazed and soaked (pooped in her tub) and is now eating Mazuri and greens.

Attached are some pictures.

Thank you. I was very nervous cause I got her from Arizona Tortoise Compound because they referenced this forum for care and proper husbandry and then some of the well known posters said this guy isn’t the greatest. Anyway she is great so far and the guy answered all my questions the right way so I guess stay tuned.

Oh yes I have read that. I also have a juvunile Sulcata that's now about 600 grams in his own custom built home. Yes they live completely separate and only see each other when soaking in their own bins next to each other (not same bin but my Sulcata loves to stretch to see her over the edge of his bin). LOL

Thank you btw

India my Sri Lanken Star is enjoying her graze with her tortoise siblings (adopted) Gatsby the Sulcata and Pancake the Red Foot

My little Sri Lanken Star is doing so great. She is more shy then my Sulcata and Redfoot but thriving. The only time she has to see my other is during supervised grazing.
