Hi - looking 4 advice first

[xXColtzFanXx]

Hi, Ive posteed in the tort section on bearded dragon.org and was helpfully directed here. The plan is aproximatly 160gallons, the dimensions would be: 4.67 Length and 2.75 width with about 1.75 feet height. So aproximatly 12.8 square feet. Im in northern Canada so weather outside yearround isnt ideal but the summer would see an enclosure nearly double this. With some help from the BD forum Im considering a Russian tortoise. I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas for an enclosure this size or even one requiring slightly larger. (If so please specify.)

Im open to hints, help and suggestions. I want all my bases covered before I get a tortoise but it is somthing Ive been considering for some timme now.

Hello and welcome. A russian should do fine in that size enclosure, but the bigger the better. I'd build a big outdoor enclosure too, so that during favorable weather he can get some sun and exercise.

russians are hard to come by up in canada. Sounds like a good choice though, they are great little torts.

Welcome to the forum
I agree with that the bigger the better... Be sure to make the enclosure as big as you can
