Suitable Enclosure

[Gillian M]

Hi. Would somebody PLEASE help with the following issue asap:


"When you are looking online for a vivarium and it says it can accommodate full grown bearded dragons, leopard geckos, snakes and other medium sized reptiles;
Does this mean that it can accommodate torts as well?"

It has nothing to do with my tort. A new member needs help.

Advise/suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Possibly a hatchling or juvenile, but probably not an adult.

Does this include a 3 year old tort

Of what species? And what size? At three years, you could have anywhere between a 100g tortoise to house or a 30lb tortoise, depending on species and care.

Without knowing how big the actual vivarium is, this is all rather moot. Someone who wants to sell a tank saying it is suitable for X, doesn't mean it actually is in the first place.

How big is the tank, how big is the tort, what species is the tortoise - without this info, question can't be answered.

She is a hermanns tort, about 13-14cm and the tank is 7-8ft.

Have you posted a pic of her?

No but here is one.

8x4ft is good for an adult Hermann's, so 7-8ft by 2-4ft would be just fine for yours.
