Sri Lankan Tortoise Humidity

Humidity is crucial when it comes to keeping an animal that is healthy and happy. Humidity does not just affect the general health of your tortoisebut it can directly impact the appearance of your pet too. Shells that have high pyramids are a result of either one or two factors or a combination both. Humidity should remain at a level of between 72 and 75 percent for babies star tortoises to be sold. After a mature age, humidity is able to be maintained at 50% in the case of an adult Star tortoise.

The goal of keeping humidity within a safe range can help in your child Sri Lankan Star tortoise for sale growing in a healthy way. If humidity drops below 60% for a prolonged time period and it can result in the formation of a pyramid-shaped shell and dehydrated tortoise. We prefer to keep our infant Sri Lankan star tortoises as well as our newborn Burmese star tortoise in closed systems with the air moving very little.

Little Sri Lankan Star tortoises love humid, low-movement air.

The low rate of movement and the high level of humidity with a humidity of 75% is the way we manage our newborn Sri Lankan Star tortoise groups. This helps them expand evenly, and to develop super smooth shells. The humid air, with its low velocity and a warm ambient temperature can allow them to grow extremely quickly. However their shells stay and become smoother like the bowling ball.

Sri Lankan tortoise Lighting and UVB

Your new baby Star tortoise with the correct UVB levels is crucial to ensure proper development. Without UVB levels, it is likely that the Sri Lankan star tortoise will not be able to create and absorb vitamin D on its own. Furthermore calcium absorption decreases when you have less UVB exposure.

To ensure a healthy, strong baby tortoise, it’s important to give your baby a small amount of Vitamin D. How can I achieve this? Simply by giving the baby Star tortoise with proper UVB lighting. We suggest a T5 high output tube UVB lamp. UVB output is far superior than the cheaper Coiled lamps or mercury Vapor lamps. Also, keep in mind that the source of light isn’t always your source of heat. The heat source can be found through a heat panel, an element of heating, or an additional spot lamp type heater.

Sri Lankan tortoise to be sold – Heating

The source of heat can be found through an energy panel, or a ceramic heating element or a spot lamp-style heater. We here at tortoisetown prefer CREs or heat panels (Ceramic Energy Source). Maintaining the hot spot at 92 degrees is the ideal. Make certain that the colder part in the Sri Lankan tortoise habitat is kept at 77-80°C throughout the day.

In the evenings temperatures could drop to the range of 75-77 provided that humidity is in order and air circulation is minimal. If the humidity falls less that 60% you can try to keep the temperatures within the range of 80 degrees.

Baby Sri Lankan Star tortoise Water

Always make sure you provide fresh shallow, clean water for your baby Sri Lankan tortoise for auction. If you keep the juvenile Sri Lankan star tortoise, or even a young adult Sri Lankan star tortoise, access to water is still vital. For babies, we soak them twice daily for 7 minutes in extremely shallow water. Also, be cautious when you are soaking your baby. They can drown quite quickly!
