The land tortoises can be raised outdoors, in fenced areas or indoors. If you’ve decided to raise an indoor turtle some matters must be considered.

Turtles live inside terrariums, often composed by a medium sized wooden house: usually the standard measures are 60cm x 120cm. with walls 35cm high, to prevent them to escape.

In the terrarium always insert some shelters, so if they wanted to isolate themselves, they could do it without any difficulty. It’s important that terrariums are also enlightened and heated in the appropriate way, according to day-night and seasonal cycles. At last don’t forget to place a low water basin inside it.
