Enclosure

Hi

Do you think an indoor enclosure measuring w-50cm, h-7cm and L-206cm would be suitable to house a horsefield tort ?

Thanks Laura

So for those of us still in the dark ages, that is 3.3 x 13.8 X 6.6 feet, or a bit over 21 square feet. That seems like an excellent size to me!
What is the size or your tort? I have heard various information, including a square foot per inch (sorry) of tort (shell). Since you will be adding substrate, you want to make sure that the height is high enough to prevent your tort from climbing out. You can plan to cover the enclosure, or put an overhang all around, or at least cap the corners.
Ultimately as you will see on this site, being outside is best, but most of us do need to start with something indoors to get a head start!
