Hi everyone,
I have spent the last few weeks reading, watching documentaries and youtube videos debating my new tortoise. I am hoping to get someone that is both a dry climate lover (humidity maintenance seems hard), a non-hibernating species (because I am NOT going to do that...) and a fairly small fella or lady (must be 100% indoors in an apartment). So far I am focused on the Indian Star but would love some input.
I do have a few questions I would love some input on. If I go the Indian Star route, how would a Exo-Terra Natural Terrarium (36x18x18) go for a home? Also what size and type of lamps are recommended for both UV light and day night heat? Finally, is there any other special considerations you would recommend to a new owner in terms of housing, diet and especially, where to buy a healthy captive raised little Indian Star?
Look forward to your input and advice, thanks!
