From being a tortoise owner for a number of years, I finally got my dream tortoise at the sac show from Tortoise supply. He/she is very active and loves to eat Mazuri, terrarium grass, and a number of greens. This animal is about 5 months old and has adapted to his new terrarium very quickly. I have him on an arcadia 12% uvb and also on a ceramic heater that is plugged in a thermostat set at 100 degree for basking. If there are any recommendations on foods to grow let me know! Im growing a hibiscus plant for now. I will also be recieving a 5 year old male spider and a 3 month old high yellow radiated very soon!

Beauty! I just got my first Burmese Star as well. That’s pretty big for 5 months. 71grams.

Congrats! This is a great species! I hope you grow to love them as much as I have over the last five years.

I still have 24 babies from this last season if anyone wants one. Or five. :)
