For a while now I have been slowly upgrading my Russians enclosure (indoor) and I have maxed out the space in my apartment. Its relatively common knowledge that you should never have one female and one Male in the same enclosure no matter the size however I haven't read about the results of female and female. It is possible that they would still fight each other but I would like to know what other people think. This is of course planning far into the future. I would like to get more tortoises (even if in separate enclosures) I simply wanted to know if one female and female would even be possible in a 10ft by 1.5 ft tort table. Another question that I have been wanting to ask (probably a truly horrible idea) would be putting a female cherryhead in with female Russian tort. Of course when I move in a couple of years the cherryhead would have it's own outdoor enclosure (I would get a house this time). Would interspecies mix work for a year or so? I have heard that redfoots in general are friendlier with each other than the Russians so would two female cherryheads be okay together? Or maybe a 3-1 ratio of three females to one male in a very large enclosure work? Haven't done anything yet and wont for a while but I really want to start experimenting and raising different species!
