It need to be warm all the time n not humid.....let them be in the sun in the morning for UvB rays for their shells....dont forget to have water for them to soak as they get dehydrate easily....feed them on vegetables n hibiscus flower petals...no fruits or meat...suplement with calcium powder...thats abt it....

Indian stars are awesome looking tortoises. Don't forget to feed escarole, broccoli flourettes, mustard greens, collard greens, romaine and other dark leaved lettuces, yams, and dandilion leaves.
