I know this may seem like a silly question, and there's probably no such thing as an enclosure that is "too big" in the tortoise world...
but I just moved Nelson into his 4x2 enclosure and it seems SO BIG!! He's only 7-months old and less than 3 inches SCL
He has been extremely active and restless during the day, and since I started student teaching today I wanted him to have more room to explore since I won't be able to take him out during the day.
My only other concern is that when he is full grown the enclosure is going to seem small to him since he will be used to a lot of space...so if he's in an enclosure this size now, will I have to build him a bigger one in the future?
I was considering blocking off part of the enclosure but that seems like such a waste!
