Guys is there someone from North india who wants to adopt a star tortoise. Because of some reasons I am not able to take care of my star. If someone is ready please let me know. You need not pay anything for this. But if you need the ceramic heater and uv bulb then I shall ask some money to...
@Ayushjain101 bhai I had one full spectrum bulb ordered from amazon. It was mentioned as uv A and B bulb. But someone told me later that these are chinese made low graded bulbs those are actually not uv bulbs. A true uv bulb will br more than ₹2000 here in india. Now i have ordered MVB bulb. I...
Fortunately I am able to keep his enclosure in sun for 7-8 hrs a day. winters are approaching here so its not too much hot. He spends most of his time in the shade, I just wonder if he is getting his daily dose of UV rays. And he mostly eats hibiscus leaves and flowers only. Is that a problem?
@Ayushjain101 bhai even I am searching one. Found some on amazon. Had ordered 1 last Month. Shipping was after 3 weeks, but never delivered. I think good bupbsare not available in india and the seller's import from outside. I am still waiting for a good seller.
I have a little Indian star. I am not able to keep it outside in sun and had been using full spectrum light for its enclosure, but someone told me that the bulb I am using so far may not be giving UV light and I must replace it with some UV bulb. so I ordered MVB online on amazon, it said it...
My little star spends his time outside I mean he does not enter his hiding space. Rarely he uses it. I keep it humid and temperature is always 26-29℃. Even at night he sleeps outside. Is it normal. If no what could be the reason. I am using soil as substrate. Have grass grown in middle of...
Its always good to bring home the best of the pets so it would be easier to keep them healthy.
But when i brought my little star, unfortunately i was not able to go to the pet shop personally and I had to get him that day only. So someone else brought him home. I wanted to be there to select...
@*debora* well said. Tiny stars are too cute. Watching them walk, sleep and especially when then open their mouth wide open while eating it all look so good. I just love this idiot.
@*debora* spelling mistake is not an issue. My Mobile's autocorrect does it many times. About torts how gouycame to know its indian and not srilankan. Could you please help me identify mine.
Thanks again for suggestion. I use an open enclosure. And keep a thermo cum hygrometer to monitor the temp and humidity. As of now I am able to keep these in limits, thanks to rainy season. May be soon as winters arrive, I will have to make necessary arrangements for keeping these in levels.
I...
@Minority2 thankyou for replying.
The enclosure is small but I will get a 4ftx4ft enclosure in couple of days. I am planning to buy a ceramic heater as winters are approaching.
Please check these links and suggest if these are worth buying. Please comment on each if possible...
So what do you suggest us good for a srilankan star to avoid pyramiding. I keep humidity above 80% and temp 35℃ at warmer side and 28℃ at cooler. Soak it twice a day.
Guys I have a baby srilankan star. In order to keep temperature near to 35℃ I have bought a full bandwidth lamp. The online seller mentions this to be having uva and uvb rays. I am not sure if it's the right lamp for my torts. Could someone check the link and let me know if it's good for the...
