Appropriate Enclosure For Greek Tort-Pease Help

[Gillian M]

I am intending to change the enclosure of my beloved tort, soon. As some of you know, my tort has recently been giving me trouble: it refuses to move. I posted a thread on this issue, but sorry to say I didn't get anywhere. Therefore I have ended up with guess work, regret to say so.

I would very much appreciate help with:

a) type of enclosure: wood or plastic (NOT transparent, of course)
b) measurements: length x width x height

Any other suggestions, tips would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

There are so many options. What's available and affordable? And what can you stand to look at? You can link Rubbermaid tubs by cutting a hole and duct taping it. You can build a wooden box. Convert a bookcase.

Size should be as big as you have room for. People usually advise 4x8, but 3x6 would be fine.

Alright, and thanks a lot your answer as well as your help. What of the height?

His height on tip toes + depth if substrate + a couple more inches. 14-18" maybe
