Hi everyone! Ive had my Russian tortoise for a few years now and I’ve never had a problem keeping his enclosure hot enough. Even in the winter when the house was cold, his enclosure would still be around 90° on his hot side. But I’ve noticed recently that he has been less active and only comes...

I'm getting plans together to build an outdoor enclosure for my future red foot tortoise. I was wondering what you guys think of as an ideal size for the enclosure. I've got plenty of room to build it. Right now I've got it measured out as being 9ft x 14ft. Is that a good size? What are the...
