haha yeah, A very consistent 85% in the enclosure, he got some sun time this morning around from 6-7 and then a soak and passed a bunch of solid poops in the tub. Grabbed some clover and grass and chopped it up with some kale for him today. He also seems to tolerate the Mazuri small tortoise...
Okay yeah I think I understand now. Well I can build a larger indoor enclosure and start on an outdoor enclosure in the fall. But I will stick with your recommendation of 10" in length
