At Kingsman Exotic Reptiles, we proudly offer captive-bred Burmese Star Tortoises for sale — ethically produced, healthy, and ready for lifelong companionship. If you’re ready to add a truly elite tortoise to your collection, this is your opportunity.

🌟 Why the Burmese Star Tortoise is So Special

Native to dry forest regions in Myanmar, the Burmese Star is closely related to the Indian Star Tortoise but has a more exaggerated, high-domed shell and bright, symmetrical yellow starburst patterns on each scute.

The species was once thought to be extinct in the wild but is now making a comeback thanks to strict breeding programs. Today, captive-bred Burmese Stars are extremely limited, and owning one is a sign of both responsible herpetoculture and elite taste.

📏 Size, Age & Care Details

This tortoise is a true long-term companion — ideal for serious hobbyists, breeders, or collectors wanting to invest in something truly unique.

🥬 Diet & Feeding Schedule

The Burmese Star Tortoise is strictly herbivorous, with a diet focused heavily on high-fiber, low-protein greens and grasses.

Daily Diet Includes:

• Grasses: Bermuda, orchard grass, Timothy hay (finely chopped for juveniles)

• Greens: Dandelion, escarole, endive, collard greens, mustard greens

• Veggies: Squash, zucchini (small portions)

• Calcium: Light daily dusting with D3 if kept indoors

• Fruits: Very rare treat (no more than once monthly)

Clean, fresh water should be available in a shallow dish and the tortoise should be soaked 2–3 times weekly when under 6 months of age.

🏜️ Habitat & Enclosure Setup

The Burmese Star prefers dry, warm climates with moderate humidity. A well-designed indoor or outdoor setup is key for optimal health.

Indoor Enclosure:

• Minimum Size: 3×2 ft (hatchlings), 6×4 ft (adults)

• Basking Spot: 90–95°F

• Cool Side: 75–80°F

• Night Temp: 70°F minimum

• Humidity: 50–60%

• UVB: Essential — T5 HO 10.0 UVB tube preferred

• Substrate: Coconut coir + cypress mulch mix for humidity control

Outdoor Setup (warm climates only):

• Secure and escape-proof

• Access to shaded areas and burrowing spots

• Heated hide for temps below 70°F

Pro Tip: These tortoises love naturalistic setups with hiding areas, rocks, and edible plants like hibiscus or grasses.

🧠 Temperament & Behavior

Burmese Stars are gentle, observant, and incredibly peaceful animals. They don’t display aggression and are well-suited for homes with kids (under supervision). Unlike sulcatas, they’re not bulldozers — they move with calm intention.

They often spend their days:

• Grazing in the morning

• Basking under their UVB zone

• Exploring their space with curiosity

They also recognize routine and feeding times, often approaching when they see their keeper.
