70% land & 30% water is good, best if u can put him in a place where he cant see outside his enclosure, as this guy is wild he would always try to go out, try feeding apple first, do not need to chopped till small pieces, just cut it to half, remove da seed area.

ok ok
i will try feeding it apple tomorrow, coz today i tried feeding kang kong dont know got eat or not, just now around 7pm+ until now it hides in its shell i think sleep already ...
is this behavior normal??

haha very different from my snappers , usually float at the surface and fall a sleep = ="

Master Uzairi,

Can I ask if I can put those normal soil from my garden as bedding for star tortoise? I'm willing to clean up their poo, everyday. But I'm afraid that it will eat the soil.

Regards.
Genkirox.
