my Hermanns is about 3 and a half years old and 4.5 inches, in the winter and autumn he has a 4x2 BioActive enclosure but in spring in summer he lives in a 6x3 outdoor enclosure. When should I upgrade his indoor enclosure? I may do it next year

As soon as you can. That's pretty small for an almost full grown tortoise.

ASAP. He needs something around 4x8' or larger now.

great question. I considered a 2x4 but decided he needs something bigger. He is 4 months old and a bit over 4 inches .the harder part will be outside because I need to know so much more.. that includes size of tortoise, types of fencing and height that will keep him in . We live in FL
