Russian tortoises have great personalities, are very hardy, tolerate a wide variety of enclosure parameters, stay small, and are generally a good "starter" tortoise in my opinion. Here is how I like to set them up: Indoor Enclosure type and size: Most people want to know the minimum size...
Unlike your leopard gecko, this guy will need two very large enclosures. One indoors and one outside. They are also amazing escape artists and have an uncanny ability to climb like a lizard even with that shell on their back. Frankly, I'm still not convinced that the whole species can't levitate when humans aren't looking. Minimum size indoors should be 4x8 feet and outside you should go even bigger.
Also be aware that most of the info you find at the pet store and on line will be wrong. They will sell you the wrong enclosure, the wrong bulbs, the wrong bowls and the wrong food, etc... This being the case, we are all glad you are here!
