Good morning.
I keep my leopard tortoise indoors. I am looking for a recommended enclosure to purchase that will last even when my leopard is full grown. I am thinking an animal plastics brand but am not sure which size. Also, do they have a screen top for me to put the basking light and uvb on?
Looking for a one time investment to keep my dude happy and healthy.

Look at @Markw84
He has the absolute best ones and they can be combined to make an even larger enclosure so no wasted money!

There is no pre-made enclosure large enough to hold an adult leopard. The largest one made by Animal Plastic is 4x8 feet, and that is far too small. A tortoise that size would need something the size of a room.

Why would you not want to house it outdoors, with a proper heated shelter of course, in your warm climate? All of my adult leopards have always lived outside full time.

also, you don't want a screen top. You need high humidity. Mark has all his stuff mounted inside the enclosure so super easy setup and placement of all the needed lights, heat etc
