Sulcata enclosure size
We a planning on moving soon and will obv be takin our torts.
We have a fair sized sulcata and are planning the enclosure. What size indoor enclosure does everyone have and what size outside enclosures? He is currently in a 6x6 shed with roughly 10by10 meters squared outside. We want to make a permanent enclosure that will last him when he's fully grown. We have a fair bit of land but we also want to landscape some of it for other uses. I'm looking for others sizes and not just 'the most you can give him' Thanks |

there really isn't a 'set size' for most it depends on how much space they have so everyone would be different. I have a yearling sully who has spent the winter in a 6x4 table, we have converted a brick built old coldframe for her summer use and thats about 10ft x 6ft, we can though extend as she gets bigger into the next one as there's a row of them. Our intention is to grow with her as she needs, half of the frame is grassed with a open wire top the other half has her house which is heated that end has a perspex cover which can be lifted and replace with a wire one on hot days. We have plenty of space for a more open run when she gets big enough to not be prey for anything.

I have two large females....over 20kgs each. They have our shed as an indoor home...which is about 15x10 and our entire garden for them to roam with the leopards. Our garden is not too big, 30ftx20ft. I don't really think space is a huge issue with these as they are not territorial animals, I think the amount of food available is more important. If they have an ample supply of food they will do fine in the average garden. If they are under fed they will walk the boundarys in search of food giving the impression they need more space....not the case, they just need more grub.
