A while ago I built a tortoise table with dimensions of 4' x 2.5', a total of 10 square feet, I don't have substrate or anything ready yet. When I add substrate I will add lots of cover, hides, and decorations. I originally built it for egyptian tortoises but decided that wouldn't be the best idea because of their high cost and not-beginner care. I would like to house more than one together (I could also divide the table if you think it would still be big enough) but I read that pairs aren't good ideas. Breeding in the future is a possibility I will consider. The species I am deciding on are Russians, Pancakes, or Egyptians (if you think it's possible for a beginner). Which one would you recommend or are there any other species you think would work well? I read that russians need a much larger enclosure so those might not be great either.
