[TOC]

Appearance & Colors of Baby Indian Star Tortoise

The shell of the Baby Indian Star Tortoise is broad and finely detailed. It’s comprised of several concentric scutes. Each scute is raised, creating a beautiful ridged appearance.

Surrounding the central scutes is an apron of smaller ones around the perimeter. Those scutes flare out slightly from the carapace for added protection.

The Indian star tortoise gets its name from the distinct pattern on the carapace. The base color of the shell is dark brown or black, and each scute is lined with bright yellow streaks.

The streaks radiate from the center, create a star-like pattern that’s undeniably beautiful.

On the bottom of the shell, these tortoises have a lighter-colored plastron. It’s usually devoid of the star pattern.

Indian Star Tortoise Size

The average size of an Indian star tortoise is between seven and 12 inches.

Their sizes can vary based on gender and what area the tortoise is native to. For example, those from mainland India tend to be slightly bigger than those with ancestral roots in Sri Lanka or Pakistan.

Lifespan

The typical Indian star tortoise lifespan is between 30 and 55 years. Like other tortoise species, Indian stars are capable of outliving their owners! If you’re lucky, you may see your reptile live up to 55 years or longer.

These tortoises can live to be up to 80 years old. However, there are no reliable reports about captive tortoises living that long.

As always, there are no guarantees when it comes to lifespan. This is especially true with a species as sensitive to disease as the Indian Star.

You can do your part to help them live as long as possible. Keep up with their needs and dedicate time to caring for these reptiles. If you don’t, your pet could suffer from disease and an early death.

Indian Star Tortoise Care

Indian star tortoise care is not for novice reptile-keepers. This is a sensitive species that requires a lot of time and dedication to keep healthy. You may be spending upwards of 45 minutes to an hour every day with husbandry tasks!

Caring for this tortoise isn’t complicated, per se. However, there are many factors that you have to stay on top of.

Below are some established care guidelines you can follow:

Enclosure Size

You have a couple of options for the enclosure. If you plan on keeping your tortoise inside, a standard turtle table or reptile terrarium works well.

We recommend keeping a single tortoise in a terrarium that’s at least 50 gallons in volume. Make sure that the enclosure features at least one screened side (adjustable vents are suitable as well).
