I have a very large male yearly (about 15 months), who is 4" and 200g. His shell is very smooth, because he has been raised following guidelines here! I want to separate him now from the other yearly (since it is now evident at least one is a male). First, what is a decent size for an indoor enclosure to house one Hermanns? And should I keep maintaining the humidity at 70%, or just have a humid hide? @HermanniChris
Ideally, I would like to switch him to an enclosure with heat panels (Pro-Heat) with separate UVB tube and move away from basking lights (reduced fire risk and better energy efficiency). It is much more energy efficient to do this in a closed cage (with vents), rather than an open top. If the cage has ventilation, do I have to use an open top cage for an adult? Thanks!
