Hi Hank,
have you visited the Habitat page at Turtle Cafe?
I've linked it for you below.
Can't help you with indoor enclosures as I house all my torts outdoors.
My Russian tort enclosure is around 20'-15', for two Russian Torts.
It's built up against the house, the walls are around 18" high and sunk in the ground a few inches to stop the torts digging under and out!
Along the back wall, wqhich is the house there's a hedge which the torts sleep under.
The soil there is rocky and soft, each tortoise has a hole dug, which they go into at night.
The rest of the enclosure is just grass, rocks, logs, edible plants.
They seem very happy and don't attemp to dig out.
Anyway check out the Habitat page, it should give you some ideas.
Terry.
