New home for my 2 beautiful Burmese star tortoises; Nova and Bloom, they are very healthy and doing excellently. Overall temp constant 80-85 F, basking 100 F, humidity 80-90% Jungle mix and coco for substrate.
This 90 gallon aquarium is a little tricky to access for cleaning and assisting the tortoises but I'm getting used to it.

Sad to say it but I am planning to sell one of them probably Bloom if anyone is interested (PM me) but I'm in no hurry I enjoy them very much. Bloom was hatched Fall of 2013 and weights 106 grams today.

I have raised them in closed enclosures with constant warmth and high humidity since hatching and they always have had smooth healthy carapaces. I live near many decent grocery stores so they also have had a good varied diet.
I'm installing a 4" molding around the outside bottom to block the tortoises view to prevent confusion and stress.

Thanks, I was going to get a male to breed them, but changed my mind not to. Tortoises do better alone or in groups of 3 or more.
