Thanks CLMoss, i appreciate it ; if i have any cool info on this species, i'll let you know also. Well anyways you guys here are some photos of the enclosure. its a 24"X36" mixing tub which i have used for my previous hatchlings (box turtles, hermans, etc) without any health issues. I also made the screen lid with human-safe PVC pipes and zip ties for hinges. Enjoy!

Please do!!! I would love some new info. Love how small your Star is, but they grow up really quick! Enjoy while s/he is so small.
Also, I really like your set up, but remember that s/he need an area that is cool and away from the strong sunlight. I know of too many Stars that died due to overheating. In addition, watch that your Star does not "flip." Hatchlings like to climb on just about anything...and can flip on his/her back. Just keep your eye on her/him.
