it is actually not hard to keep a star... just take note of these few things:-
1) don't buy a sick tortoise
2) if you don't have much experience, don't get a too small hatchling
3) you have to keep them in a dry environment
4) make sure your room tempreture is 28c to 30c
5) you can get a basking lamp to create a hot spot for them 31c to 35c
6) feed them proper food daily (e.g. sawi)
7) twice a week, give them some calcium supplement
8) once a week, give them some vitamin supplement
9) twice a week, soak them in luke warm water
10) sun bath them whenever you are available. best time 9am to 10am. if you can't sun bath them, you can get a UVB lamp
11) make sure there are no predator around
last but not least, give some 'love' to em...
Yeah, actually its okay to get a Star but half of them suffer from dead tortoise. Some because lack of care and some died because of metabolic bone desease and this one cant be avoided. So if u dare to take the risk, why not aite ? 1) don't buy a sick tortoise
2) if you don't have much experience, don't get a too small hatchling
3) you have to keep them in a dry environment
4) make sure your room tempreture is 28c to 30c
5) you can get a basking lamp to create a hot spot for them 31c to 35c
6) feed them proper food daily (e.g. sawi)
7) twice a week, give them some calcium supplement

Will take pictures maybe tomorrow. Need to clean the house and prepare for the Hari Raya. Actually, i placed my Asian Leaf inside a plastic tank. Those that u can bought at Tesco or Carrefour. Nothing special tho. Hehe.. Only my Asian Giant Pond Turtle and Spiny Hill Turtle i place on my garden since they are too bog for the plastic container. My grandma already bising about the turtles.
