Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you have used a 6'long x 3'wide x 2' high Animal Plastics cage or something similar for their tortoise? I've stumbled upon a rather good deal for one and am thinking of snatching it up, but am wondering how to heat a beast this size without using CHE's. Currently, I use an 80 watt radiant heat panel and a flood light in a 4x2x18 and it works great. I'm housing a 3 year old, approximately 4inch male Sri Lankan Star tortoise.
On a side note...at what size should a tort be moved from a 6x3x2 enclosure?
