samstar said:Hi guys,
I am going to build a 50-60sqft outdoor enclosure for my 4 torts, would this size be adequate? It's for 2 Radiated's and 2 Indian Stars.

I'd like to see those dimensions doubled...especially if it's for a 'lifetime'...if you could go 10 x 10, that's 100sq ft...and you could get a lot more creative with the landscaping

Tom said:I don't think 5x10 or 6x10 is big enough for four adults either. It depends on how much they will be in it too. Are you in a warm part of the country and will they spend lots of time in much larger outdoor enclosures? I'd rather see the two species housed separately too, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

They will be there full time and once in a while in my garden for an hour or two. Yes I live in a tropical climate where it's warm 24/7 and humidity between 70-90%. There will be a roof to protect them from the rain and it will be made of perspex so light can enter from the top(filtered) and the sides(no blocakge from natural sunlight) usually about 1-2 hours in the afternoon.

I would probably let the rain pour on 'em if your tropical climate is warm when it's raining. Also, I don't like the idea of filtered sunlight...just give 'em more hides to retreat to.
