I'm not sure how to tell the age a measurement might help, but size varies for all tortoises even in the same breed.

I got a hermanns tortoise 7months old

I been working on a closed top enclose for my tortoise. All the way around is wood. And the top will be glass. It's for indoor so of course ik I gotta put plastic on the wood to keep from molding and I have to put the uvb and heat bulbs inside the encloser. How do I know how much ventilation I...

Yea I'm sorry! I really do care about my tortoises. Can you show me an example of your enclosure please!?

The enclosure is temporary, till I move out! The size is not too small. And I dont have trouble with humidity its always between 50-55. I rip up the moss and I can assure you she doesnt eat it, or get tangled in it. The stool the lights is on its also temporary. She's small right now and cant...

My humidity in my tortoises enclosure usually never drops below 45, unless I dont spray it down. I always keep mine around 50-55 and, i do this by spraying the enclosure and mixing. Instead of just spraying the top layer, I spray it, mix the layers of substrate Then I spray more. This...

If your having trouble with humidity then yes it is recommended to have a close enclosure, but tortoises need air circulation, and circulation is good so mold wont grow inside enclosure. Hermanns tortoises dont need it to be too wet! Just make sure the humidity is right. I would recommend...
