The rule of thumb is about 100 square inches per inch of tortoise shell length.
2 tortoises about 4" long would need at least 800 square inches, or about a 20"x40" space.
Tortoise tables are about the easiest 'big spaces' to make- basically it is like a bookcase with no shelves laid on its back, then supported on some legs or sawhorses.
Avoid glass aquaiums- glass confuses them and traps in moisture and bad air. These guys love fresh air as much as open space!

I even have 4 Russians and a million sulcata and that they are wonderful at the same time reason they arrive from the comparable variety of section. yet whilst the russians are wild caught and the sulcata isnt it could be good to apply a definite stuff to deworm them reason they get worms interior the wild. (they sell the deworm stuff) at puppy shops
