so 2.5inch star tortoise issit at the safe zone?i mean they wont easily get sick?doest buying those UVB or basking light a must for them?can i use a normal white table lamp?

nope....atleast 3inch.....
bout those lamp......it is important...but donno how to explain....
i leave it to the expert~~~~~

So early ar they close, maybe renovation or stock take.

3inch and above more hardy and % of dying less. About the UVB full spectrum light its a must. And its totally different from normal white table lamp although it looked the same.

going out to pet shop today... wanna buy the uv lamp

actually i'm thinking of to buy the Neo-Tank...
Neo-Tank

i think so... still hav to see it for myself

you can always order stuffs from them. just point to anything from exoterra 2006 catalogue. as for the 2007 stuffs, i've yet to see them here.

There's one in front page of this thread.

sifu sifu sekalian big big small small..can anyone kindly pls post their small setup of their star?

wanna steal some idea & wanna know what stuff to get & how to locate them like the basking lamp..actually the tank that posted by drexar earlier is not bad after all..can hold the lamp above..but duno how much will it cost..havent visit the shop yet

currently wats on my mind is

corn cob(bedding)
basking lamp(got uva & uvb) if can clip on the tank is better
1.5feet plastic tank(thinking to use as the mini setup) but no idea issit a good idea..not enough land for them

im wandering anyone had did a mini setup which can be located on their working table & so?

do anyone provide a small water area for ur star to soak itself?

i think u have to soak them by urself for a certain time.......n day.....

If you want to set up a mini tank forget about soaking area Do the soaking outside in another container

- In a mini tank , dont use the basking light ( cook the tortoise as it has no place to run if it get too hot )unless low wattage used ie 40 w light on dimmer
or use undertank heater or bask them outside in lawn or balcony every day or every other day to get their Vit D 3 and to heat up !!!

I dont encourage any container smaller than say 2 feet for 1 - 2 tortoise !!!

But hey my son keep a pair of the hatchling Indian Star in a foot long Exo Terra Faunarium with a hide only with no side effect BUT all needs like Vit D3 are either supplemented or brought out to sun Soaking and food consumed in another container !!! Heated provided thru a under tank heater on rainy day !!!

Most of the basking bulb only gives UVA, for UVB you still need the full spectrum fluorescent light. And like what samperth told you, no less than 2ft for the tank. And about the soaking part, i did my soaking outside of the tank 3/4 times per week.

Hi,

Took some pictures of my little ones. .

nice camera u got there so clear

andrewnib: u feeding them tortoise pellet?as their daily diet or snack?
