Hi everyone,
I have a few questions to fellow Burmese Star owners :
1. Does your star like bright lights? I came across a few threads that say their stars like it bright & some that say the opposite. Mine doesn't like it bright, I tried installing a LED tube in his enclosure & he stayed inside his hide the whole time. The day after I took out the tube, his activity became normal again.
2. I've had my star for around a month. In the past 2 weeks, he wouldn't eat/move at all during the day. He would only be active around 4-7 PM, around 2 hours of active time. During his active time, he would walk, eat, bask, drink, climb normally. Should I be concerned?
A few informations about my setup :
- Height is around 15", closed top chamber
- Substrare : orchid bark
- 100 W incadescent bulb
- Ambience temp : 90
- Cool side : 86
- Basking : 97
- Night temp : 83
My star is around 4", he's gained around 30 grams this past month (313 to 349 g).
Diet : dandelion greens, hibiscus, mulberry, grape, opuntia, maizuri, zoomed pellets
I soak him 4-5 times a week under direct sunlight in the morning for around 20 mins, he always poops during his soak.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
