Candy said:When I got Dale we bought him a 40 gallon and when I posted a picture on here I remember Terry (Nerd) said the same thing to me, that it was a little small for him (which I didn't know) because I was new to tortoises. He also told me to turn off some of the lighting in there. I know that TerryO told you on her post that she has vivariums for her Cherry's. If I'm correct she had a 75 gallon one for Pio and now I think she's changed it to a 125 gallon one because Pio is now around 6 inches. I'll ask her to post some pictures of it.
I think Dale probably appreciated Terry (Nerd) telling me that since this is what my husband built for Dale after that and he had a lot more room to explore. And boy did he.
I know that you said something in your other thread about your wallet and I know that building something like this gets expensive, but a lot of people just go to target and get the huge storage bins and they use those and it gives the tortoise way more room to roam around in and they don't take up that much space either since you say that you rent a one bedroom I'm sure space is limited for you. It's not the just the size of the hide that matters really it's actually the size of the enclosure. Just a suggestion.
