Star tortoise enclosure
Here we have sterilized and reused the display case (6'x2'x2') from the leopard tortoises shown in the "tortoiseland" page. Sterilizing the enclosure is thought to be necessary for the Indian star's because they may be sensitive to the natural fauna which inhabit the digestive tract of the leopard's. This time we have split it in half to accommodate our 3 Indian star tortoises due to their size differences. We have two 6 month old babies and one 3 year old sub-adult female. We used coral gravel for a rocky substrate, and grass we have grown in a plant flat for hiding and extra food. They each also have their own terracotta pot for shelter as well as a feeding dish. We do not provide standing water for them, as they are more easily and hygienically soaked every three days in their own tubs. There are UVB lights in the fixtures along the top edge of the case, as well as a large heat pad buried under the coral gravel to provide extra warmth and a heat gradient.
