Hi all,
What is the recommended Enclosure Size for a Hermann's tortoise? Mine is currently 1yr 8months old, he lives in an open topped enclosure, pictures below:

This is 130cm by 60cm
and my tort (called The Rock) is quite small:

I'm planning on buying a vivarium within the next year, simply because I want to move away from pyramiding and keep humidity higher than I can with this enclosure.
But I've also been thinking about an outdoor enclosure, I don't know whether I'm going to make one for him to be out there 24/7 all year round (I live in UK), with a nightbox, or just in the summer and keep him indoors at night.
But yes, what is the recommended Enclosure Size for him? he is 6.7cm long and 59.5g in mass.
Thanks for your replies in advance![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
