Hello, I have a roughly three year old Herman’s tortoise he’s about the size of my palm maybe a bit smaller. I’m wondering the proper size of an enclosure for him! I recently noticed he may be getting a bit over weight and I’m wondering if it’s because his enclosure is too small.

You need a minimum of 4x8 indoors. Even larger outdoors.

Start here, and then look for the temperate species care sheet near the bottom:
