I currently own a musk turtle and an RES but I've been studying a bit on tortoises and I've decided that i want one. I want a tortoise that is very small being that I don't want to have a giant enclosure, but I also want a tortoise that is decently easy to care for. I am mostly concerned with the size of the tortoise though.
I've heard that a good rule of thumb for enclosure size is 10 times the tortoises length and 5 times his width, is this true? I plan on keeping my tortoises main enclosure indoors but i will set up an outdoor pen to put him in a few times a week for a few hours.
