enclosure size

Inexperienced and in need of help!! Hi there, I'm a 17-year-old living at home with my mum and we have just come into possession of a tortoise. I did not advise getting a tortoise, as we have never had one, but my mother believed it would be fine and said we could rescue her anyway. She will...

Hello everyone! I have a three year old tortoise who is currently in a 4ft enclosure, however, I want to upgrade it to a 6ft or even 8ft enclosure .would it be okay for me to get it now or should I wait until she is older? If so what size would be more appropriate ? And what size would she need...

Howdy! Ever since I was a kid I've wanted a tortoise, and now that I'm 23 I'm finally fulfilling that dream and have decided on a Russian Tortoise. Now I'm still going back and forth between getting an adult or a baby (It's technically my first pet other than betta fishes), and while I am...

Hey guys and gals, This is my first post. I am thinking about getting a hatchling tortoise that would stay rather small, hopefully to remain and indoor tortoise. I am renting an apartment right now that's rather small. I've seen people using Rubbermaid totes, small wooden boxes etc for...

My hermann's tortoise is still a baby, but it is going to outgrow its enclosure in a few months and I am thinking of building his final enclosure soon. I have read some threads about enclosure sizes, but none of them were exact. What would you recommend?
