Default Red Foot Tortoise

I fell in love with these guys they are so cute and have nice coloring. I was wondering if I could fit a hatchling in a 24 by 12 by 16? Could I keep it in there for at least 3 yrs?

your better off with a tortoise table. Vivariums can cause health problems.

Not big enough imo, certainly not deep enough, even for a hatchling.

thats a really small space. deffo wont last for a year let alone three. you wuld be better off getting the biggest underbed storage box you can find. lots more space and the humidity in the substrate wont rot the palstic like it may with wood. also increases the ventiliation.

I agree that it is way too small for any tortoise.I would say at least 2 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot and that is a bare minimum that still would only last a year or so really.

That size will not last you 3 years but will be fine for about 6 months
