If you’re seeking a tortoise that’s as beautiful as it is calm and manageable, the Indian Star Tortoise for sale is a perfect choice. Known for their intricate star-patterned shells and gentle temperament, these tortoises are popular among collectors and exotic pet lovers alike.
Native to the dry scrub forests and grasslands of India and Sri Lanka, the Indian Star Tortoise (Geochelone elegans) is ideal for those looking for a smaller, tropical species that thrives with proper humidity and warmth. Whether you’re looking for a baby Indian Star Tortoise for sale or a well-started juvenile, our captive-bred specimens offer unmatched quality and health.
The Indian Star Tortoise is one of the most visually striking tortoises in the world. Their dark shells are decorated with golden-yellow lines that radiate outward, forming a “star” effect on each scute. This pattern offers natural camouflage in their dry, grassy habitats, but also makes them a prized pet among collectors.
They are smaller than many popular tortoise species and tend to have docile, peaceful personalities — making them great for homes with limited space or first-time reptile keepers.
When purchasing a baby Indian Star Tortoise for sale, here’s what to expect in terms of size and care:
Hatchling Size: Approximately 1.5–2 inches
Adult Size: 7–12 inches depending on gender (females are typically larger)
Lifespan: 30–60 years with proper care in captivity
Their compact size and long lifespan make them a lifelong companion for the dedicated reptile enthusiast.
Indian Star Tortoises do best in warm, tropical environments with moderate humidity. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ambient temperature: 80–85°F
Basking area: 90–95°F
Nighttime temps: Not below 75°F
Humidity: 60–70% (especially important for hatchlings and juveniles)
Indoor setups with a high-walled tortoise table or enclosed terrarium
Substrates like coconut coir, sphagnum moss, or cypress mulch help maintain humidity
UVB lighting is essential for shell health and calcium metabolism
Add multiple hiding spots, shallow water dishes, and basking platforms
If you live in a warm climate, supervised outdoor housing with a secure, shaded area is also great.
Our tortoises are currently feeding on:
