40lb Male Sulcata Tortoise

[MYCNMICKNLULU]

Any recommendations on creating a good indoor enclosure for a 40lbs tortoise? We have a bedroom available for him, looking for suggestions to keep our 17 year old baby comfortable in his new room!



Thanks!
Marilyn

Hi Marilyn! Tell us more about your Sully.. have you always had him? Where does he spend most of his time now? What does he eat? It’s always good to have a basic history so you don’t give wrong advice.

Hello! We have a 23 lb, 3 and a half year old sulcata in Pennsylvania. This will be our second winter with him, and here's the enclosure we built: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/planning-new-indoor-enclosure.163087/

Last winter he was under 10 lbs and we kept him in a 300 gallon stock tank inside, but he's been growing like crazy so we decided to build as big of an indoor enclosure as possible. Let me know if you have any questions!
