Sorry my post was confusing. Tank is 6 feet by 30 inches wide.
Seems nice and big:D however if you are able to upgrade it whit time your pets would greatly benefit from it. Also both the uro and the toises idealy should have a outdoor area for good time(Uro only in very sunny summer days) Are you able to build them that? Also again is Testudo marginata rigth?:D
 
I live in Canada so not many hot days here!

The tortoises spent a few months outside. Yes they are a pair of T.Marginata

If you live in Canada then you can get plenty of dandylions for them to eat:D
 
i have a mali and a baby sulcata ive thought about doing that too it doesnt seem like a bad idea to mee kinda like a biotype thing
 
I advise against it. Ive come across many cases where irritated tortoises start nipping at the toes of lizard housemates. Plus, there's the risk of parasite transmission and I simply don't think the enclosure is large enough (although I'll admit, I know little of marginated torts and how large they get).

They get to be about 14inches or so but that takes many years. I dont think nipping would be a prob, marginated are generaly(except for males in breeding) very friendly,laid back and peacefull tortoises, red foots and sulcatas as example are generaly more active and agressive eaters than marginateds. If all animals are healty and well quarentined and the terrarium is big enogh I dont think its a bad combo,Ive seen worse:D
 
i see it done often
especially tortises and uro's
but it would stink because of all the fecal matter mixing up lol
