Hi,
I have been looking forward to becoming a first time tort mom for about a month now (when I started working on my enclosure). I'm almost ready for a tort (just need the lighting and substrate) and was planning on a Greek tortoise (which I have extensively researched).
A reptile expo is coming into my area next week and I'm seeing some tortoises I never thought I'de have access to (I feel bad about having tortoises "shipped" so was looking to get one local), like Indian Star tortoise, which I think look lovely.
Can someone please help me understand if there are any major differences in caring for a Greek tort and a Star tort, as I am considering getting a Star at the expo. I see that they like about the same temps and slightly less humidity as Greeks (and eat a few different Greens). Anything Else?
