This was meant to be a question
The tortoise will not suddenly drop dead if placed in an enclosure that is too small. 6x4 foot is certainly better than 2x4 feet, but for a full grown active adult, I would not want anything smaller than 8x4 feet. That is the minimum. Larger than that would be better. Tortoises need large enclosures. Much larger than other types of reptiles.6 ft by 4ft by 2ft is good, write?
However, I have a Western Herrmann's tortoise, so shouldn't it require a smaller enclosure than something like a redfoot.The tortoise will not suddenly drop dead if placed in an enclosure that is too small. 6x4 foot is certainly better than 2x4 feet, but for a full grown active adult, I would not want anything smaller than 8x4 feet.

4x8 feet is nowhere near large enough for an adult red foot. That would require a room sized enclosure.However, I have a Western Herrmann's tortoise, so shouldn't it require a smaller enclosure than something like a redfoot.
