We just built 77 inch by 32 enclosure. Its huge, for us. Red Footed tortoise had out grown original enclosure now. Off the ground, plenty of room, challenge is lighting and heat...75 degrees everywhere trying to make sure her new hide is 80 plus..

Those irregular scutes were there from birth. That's not caused by lack of humidity. It just happens sometimes. Some people say it's from incubating to hot but I don't think anyone knows for sure. She's looking good though.
