Thx ill.measure him when I'm home I'm running a bit late so around 3
The suggestion I always read on here is 8'x4' = 32 square feet as a minimum...2500 square inches is 17 square feet - we suggest 4'x2' as a minimum = 8 square feet.
Either your tort has loads of space or you math is wrong.
The sulcatas I've seen at the zoo were at least 2' long. According to Wikipedia they can reach 33".There are 12 inches in 1 foot. If Spike is that size then you have an aldabra not a sulcata
Well spike my sulcata usually has free roam of the garden and then sleeps and rests in a dog house type thing. He's only met my Greek a few times and it didn't go very well, for some reason he's always running after him I try to slow him down so he doesn't crush my Greek but that just makes him go faster. So yes there would be room but it might agitate Spike, do you think he'd learn that he is a friend not food? Spikes 15 and Sheldons only 3 in case you needed to know that, thanks for all the help
You are quite right on size and I shouldn't multi task on TFO and at home.The suggestion I always read on here is 8'x4' = 32 square feet as a minimum...
My torts are about 3" long and their enclosure is a little over 30 square feet. I wouldn't call that loads of space, I'll enlarge it next year.
Or maybe my math is also wrong?

Spike looks quite impressive in the picture, I'm curious to know how big he is!
