Its star "tortoise" bro, by the name you should already know that they should be kept on dry environment. Do your studies bro, if you got any problems just ask here we would glad to help you.

Indoor or Outdoor does not matter as indoor could be as humid as outdoor if the water bowl capsize or inapproperite substrate used ie mulch or bark ...etc
Outdoor could be as dry as you want it to be when you add a roof over and a high wattage basking light used !!

So as long as the right environment is provided most species can do pretty well in a country as humid as ours !!

Ya Female Star grow faster and her maximum size is also larger !! If you dont believe me , try find 6 - 8 incher Male in private collection or those offered for sale and you will know !! But for female 8 to 10 or even 11 inch are quite "common" ( As if LOL )

Cute, i might be getting one soon  smile.gif

They live in humid enviroments right? So should i get a covered vivarium or a tub?
*
Covered vivarium ie Exo terra will hold the humid pretty well But tub work just as well as long as the right substrate is used

My friend use moss and peat mix in a tub !! Works well for him - in fact all his tropical sp's hatchlings are maintained this way !!

Do you think they'll thrive well in a screen enclosure? but with the right substrate like peat moss?

Can i put 1 adult cherry head into a 4 ft tank? lol
*
Just spray the enclosure often as our country is humid enough for them Just that those extra heat that we might provide will dry the enclosure a bit thus the supplement spraying to help maintain the humidity !!

Why not even adult Red footed can fit in a 4 ft tank just that substrate need spot cleaning more often as they poo a bit !!

Any problem with fungus ?

As fungus spores might be present !!

Treat your substrate first before use no matter the brand you might eventually choose !!

Depends on how you use them you might need to change the substrate often !!

thanks dude...i appreciate that...

anyway...tortoises' gurus out there...im planning on keeping red foots as well...planning on expanding from turtles to tortoises...can they actually survive with those exo terra bulbs?

i'll start off with redfoot first...then i will get sulcatas and radiatas when my wallet is loaded...or should i change my sequence?
*
You mean those UVB bulbs for Vitamin D3 ?? YA but result may differ !! Sun is still best !!

Yup, MV still have leopards at RM888 per pop..I think 4 left if my memory didnt fail.

Ironic why ST can't be traded with so many successful captive breeders in Msia, but the leopards can be openly sold.

CITES concept is just plain silly to me.

Anyway, the leopards there is kept together with a bearded dragon (same housing) using rabbit pellets as substrate...not our usual stuff

reccomended here...I happen to read a tortoise book in MV MPH that rabbit pellets are quite good as bedding as the torts enjoy digging a bit..

Wonder if Fat^Cat's "Cat Litter Recycled Paper" is still available at its usual place? Plan to get some..now using big wood chips...no smell though but

obviously not as soft and fluffy as recycled paper and I don't pile wood chips 10cm high wink.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

Cheers
*
Leopards can be legally / openly sold due to them being imported legally thru CITES (Which I agree is just plain silly )
Be those Leopard CB or WC as long as the exporting countries can get a annual quota for them , the leopard can be traded !!!

On the other hand , WC Indian Star cant be imported legally due to India not allowing it !!

As for CB Star bred locally that cant be openly sold due to the breeding stock not having CITES import paper thus cant be legalised to breed CITES animals !! What a joke rite !!!

Thats why my fren went back into his closet to continue his illegal tortoise breeding activity !!

I think it was called "four footed tortoise" as they wrote there, looks really ill.

If you think 888 is expensive, you haven't seen expensive. Some geckos go for 10k.. =.=

OOT, what was the gecko morph? =.=

Normal wild form vs some Morph of course no fight lah !!!!

i think beardiekid's just ticked off by someone's reaction to the 888 price, his statement is just to emphasize how expensive/unimaginable animal's price can be.. leslie digressed the thread towards gay-ko discussion pulak  wink.gif
ROTFL... my res also four footed...  laugh.gif
*
I think he meant " four digits/claws " rather than " four footed " !!!

Thats what Russian Tortoise , A. horsfieldii are called in chinese !!! Right beardiekid ??
