@@tortallyscute you should not keep them in a glass tank, your tortoise will get stress, as they can see outside but can't go their... (According to Indian vet) 😅 Btw I also have two tortoise of same breed.
@@ZED-X hey, i’ve honestly looked into this “glass” phenomenon. I found that this is true if the tank isn’t big enough for them and if they don’t have enough hiding spots and enrichment. The set up I have is filled with places they can feel comfortable and safe in and I know they never “glass surf”. Also, the stress in glass tank not only happens if the housing is small, but when new tortoises are brought home by new tortoises parents, the tortoise is already stressed due to the drastic change in their environment (sight, smell, sounds, etc) and so they try to “escape” by trying to go through the glass mostly because they don’t feel secure. If given the right safe environment, they won’t try to walk through glass. I’ve also done enormous amount of research (I still do in case info changes) and follow my exotic vets advise Also, they are getting an upgrade to a pvc enclosure Thanks for watching, btw!
Hey, I can’t think of a product that is best for turtles or tortoises. It is always best to customize their home to ensure it has everything they need.
Hello, thanks for watching. Unfortunately I do not know the restrictions or legalities in keeping these in India. If I’m not wrong, Indian star tortoises cannot be sold across countries. It really depends on the laws pertaining to keeping these animals.
Hi, thanks for watching! My stars are captive bred and born here in Canada so it is legal to keep them here. About housing them, they can be kept indoors or outdoors wherever they are legal to be kept. But because I live in Canada and it is cold more than half of the year, I need to house them at home most of the time and they can come out a few times during the summer
Hello! Thanks for watching ☺️. Fake plants aren’t necessarily bad, but I get that there are still misconceptions about them. Also, tortoises are smarter than we may think
Such cute tortoises!
They really are, thank you! ☺️

Hi I’m in the US what is the average price in Canada for this specific species
Hey Alex, in Canada the avg for baby Indian stars is between 1200-1500 and baby Burmese stars 3000-4000. These can vary between breeders.
@@tortallyscute i have 5 adults for 4 years now, I am from India, and it cost me 50 CAD pair 4 years back
@@travelstories2529 oh wow! What a big difference. I suppose it because there is not a lot of captive breeders in Canada.
I had a sulcata tortoise
@@JanMitchel how old was your sulcata? those guys are amazing and tough as a brick! XD
What substrate you using?
Hey, I use coco coir and reptisoil underneath 50-50 and I just add orchid bark on top

It's illegal to keep them in India, but i have two tortoise, I buyed it from sri Lanka, I'm from India too..
@@ZED-X oh thank you for clarifying for us! I suppose it is due to them being endangered.
Is it legal to keep Indian star tortoise at home ? Or not

About housing them, they can be kept indoors or outdoors wherever they are legal to be kept. But because I live in Canada and it is cold more than half of the year, I need to house them at home most of the time and they can come out a few times during the summer
You do realize they can’t properly use water that is distilled like that? They need a water dish with treated tap water
Thanks for watching 😉
