Hi
I currently have a 5 month old leopard tortoise. I was thinking about getting a baby indian star tortoise, but I only want to get it if it is ok to house it with the leopard tortoise. Since they are both cb and babies is it still possible that they could be hosting some kind of diseases? Thanks for the help.........Aaron

Can Indian Star and Leopard tort babies be housed together?

Since they are both CB and require the same husbandry you could, but IMO wouldn't.

If it is a 2 inch Star and it is $250 to $350 in price there is a very good chance that it is a WC animal and as such is most likely heavily infested with parasites. You would be exposing your Leopard to a great risk in that instance.
Outside of that I wouldn't think there is anything wrong with the mix.
