New burmese stars

[braige thomas]

Hello just got my 2 new stars to add eventually with my pair I already had wanted to see what you guys think of there shells and see if anything is wrong they are healthy and moving around eating everything soaked them when they arrived this morning no bubbly nose or eyes but my only concern is there shells they kind if opposite of a prim look like they were sunk in will attach pics thank you also got me a brand new mister system also most like the lines in-between scutes are raised like they need to grow into shells ? Not sure my first 2 never looked like tjay and were bith same size when I got them 25 50 grams

Start soaking them each day 30min or longer. Get their diet in check. I know you have two other tortoises and just making sure you read this information from @Tom

Well other than the quartine I think I'm following the guide and Tom's advice perfectly I also have a new mister system the reptil zoo 10L one I'm about to put on the enclosure I can tell a difference in them now than when it was just a pair tho used ti they'd go straight to opposite end of the enclosures now they are all grouped up chilling in thr corner so group dynamics are real I reckon

A mister should not be necessary or useful in a closed chamber. Your substrate looks too wet in the pictures. If you need a mister, that means you have too much ventilation. I've never seen a star get shell rot, but I'm sure it is possible. Orchid bark, or any substrate, should be lightly damp underneath, and mostly dry on top.

Yeah I got a shitty 3x18x18 glass terrarium and I mean I don't need a mister I just choose to not have to be here and mist them myself every hour everyone has said you cannot pull it off with a glass tank I'm about to get a big pvc maximum reptile one I found on face book for 500$ hut I will tell you I was able to keep thr best at a minimum of 80 and 84 to 90 all day with 2 150 watt ceramic bulbs and a 150 watt day light bulb even thought it's open top now it stays atleasy 80% when I was misting it myself but now its always 90 or above eith the system

BUT everyone says oh it can't be done well I have pulled it off after a year of trying ti figure it out but all my problems are about ti solved permanently with the new enclosure
