Indian stars are very shy. It looks like it is panicking because it is out in the open, or possibly because it is too hot.My Indian star tortoise is walking in a different manner. I'm not sure if it's normal or something to be concerned about. I can't attach a video here someone please help me out.

I would soak it immediately and make sure temps are within range. Put your hand on that ground where it was walking. Is it hot
Not hot but warm.... It's monsoon season here. In the afternoon I took her outside because the sun was out for some time.... Even when she is home she is doing the same.... I have kept her in sum mud now in her box and she is trying to come out again and againIndian stars are very shy.

A UVB light, I keep it on for 14-15 hours in a day. She has a hiding spot which is dark.... She was not staying in a box and I was finding her turned over 3-4 time in a day so I took her out and she was on the floor on a few newspapers... Whenever I took her back to her box, she would try coming out again and again. The box is filled with potting mud (clean mud)Do you have any bulbs over the tortoise in its enclosure?
What substrate is it on?
What kind of UVB light? What type of bulb? Is there a heat lamp?A UVB light, I keep it on for 14-15 hours in a day. She has a hiding spot which is dark....
