The trick is to provide as large of an enclosure as possible & think in three dimensions. Minimum space is 4 ft x 8 ft. Use different materials to create sight barriers, keep food & water areas away from edges, have a hide or two, a small hill & a valley, and plants (hanging plants like pothos or spider plants that trail into the enclosure create little areas fir the tort to hide). Lastly, look at the surface area where your tort can physically crawl & make sure you don’t fill it with so many things that you remove available crawl space.
