Squirt would hate having competition. One of them would be bullied and the results would be dire. If they live in separate habitats, that's not having a friend; but they don't have friends.

Next time be straight and just say you've caught the bug and really want another but can't afford one & would be happy to adopt.

Tortoises neither want nor need a "friend." Tortoises are solitary and territorial. Squirt would fight, trying to chase a new tortoise out of his territory.

If you have the space to set up a completely different enclosure, and if you have outside space to section off the yard for two territories, get another tortoise. But don't put it in with Squirt.
