I recieved my Sri Lankan Star tortoise almost a week ago and am smitten. But I need a little help clarifying some lighting and temperature/humidity questions for a 3 year old, 4 inch Sri Lankan Star.
1) Have any of you noticed whether or not your Star seems to be bothered by bright lighting? Mine seems to dislike bright lights and will only become active when it's darker.
Cage has reptisun 10.0 tube and flood light.
2) What should my night temperature be set at? I have an 80w RBI radiant heat panel on a herpstat set to 78°f at night.
3) What humidity level should I aim for? I find hatchling information easily, but not juvenile. His humidity right now ranges from 60-80% with ambient temps in 80° range.
Lastly, obligatory pics!
