Thanks so much for getting back to me and for the info! Wow, looks like a quite a project....I'll dig in see what you got there, I sure do wish they were available pre-fab....of course getting shipped to Hawaii wouldn't be the easiest lol. Thanks again Tom for all of your invaluable information!

Hey Tom,......hope you see this, as this thread us is pretty old...... Question......I have a 3/12 year old Burmese Star, I got it from Mark.....my question is regarding him living outside. I live in Hawaii, and the temperature can get down into the 60'at night in my area. Other than that the...

Thanks so much for the advice and recommendation of Reptiles2you...I'm looking at their site, so glad I can get the shipping supplies from them, as that was another question I had. Thanks!!

Hey Mark, it's Brian in NYC!! I should've just asked you in the first place lol. I'm quite glad that this is the case....I knew getting him there legally and paperwork wasn't an issue like for my dog, but was just wondering about the actual transport. Glad to know this is the case, that I can...

Aloha! I'm moving home after 30 years in NYC!! All the questions you have here, I have as well....wondering how it went for you? I know theres paperwork to fill out, a vet visit, but it seems a lot easier than taking my dog, since tortoises don't carry rabies and that is the big concern...

Thanks!

Hi Tom....Hope you're well! Questions about calcium for my Burmese Star.... He currently has cuttlebone always available, which he LOVES, and I also have Opuntia Cactus powder I got from Kapidolo Farms...I've been adding it to his food every other day. He eats a variety fresh weeds and leaves...

There has got to be some way to bring attention to this in your school.....you can't possibly be the only person in an entire university concerned with the well being of an animal. If I were you I would at the very least call a local vet that specializes in herpetology and find out how to...

Thanks Tom, and thank you again for your help and invaluable information! ??????

I'm new here and still trying to figure out how this system words.......Can anyone tell me how to change my username? I read that I could send a DM to @Josh or @Yvonne G but I can't even seem to figure out how that works lol. Help lol. If either Josh or Yvonne G are seeing this, I just want...

I think the link to the orchid bark you posted may not be the “fine” size....that one may be too big

Yup!

I just got one today at Home Depot...you want the old fashioned incandescent 65 watt (Br 30 65 Watt). Incandescent NOT fluorescent.

Thanks so much for all your help Tom, I truly appreciate it!! And, seriously, your posts are incredibly helpful. I have been doing my due diligence for a couple of years in deciding whether or not to get a tortoise, and not once did I come across anything mentioning "closed chamber" until I...

Wow, that is great to hear.....Burmese Star is really what I covet the most. What size do you think the minimum would be to keep it in for the first couple of years?

Thanks. Yeah, I've read a lot of your posts and agree, I'd like to have one that's started in the closed chamber system. Here's my dilemma....I'd actually really like to get a Burmese Star. Whatever I get will start out it's first couple of years indoors here with me in NYC then will be...
