Enclosure advice!!
I am looking to upgrade my baby leopard tortoises habitat! He is currently in a plastic tote which has worked wonderfully and I have been able to regulate the temp and humidity in it great but he just needs something a little bigger. Any suggestions would be a huge help!!!

Hi all so I have a baby leopard tortoise and one of his eyes is having trouble opening up the temp of his enclosure is 85 to 90 degrees and the humidity is around 70-80 % it does seem to help when I soak him for about 15-20mins he is still eating and is active is this a common thing that happens?
