: : How big will a fully grown red footed tortoise get?

: 12 about average, 15 big, 17 huge.

:
: : About 20 x 20 would be optimum, with a nice pond to bask in, and lots of fantastic edible landscaping. Setting up a fogger of sorts is also beneficial.
Do you think that an 8'x4' enclosure is enough for 2 red-foots?

: >Will it have to be an outside enclosure or can I >keep one inside?

: It's best to keep all torts outside if you can. Check out the tortoise trust for Ideas on an indoor enclosure, because when I had a big redfoot he pretty much was just loose in the house....lol. This is not recommended by todays standards .
