Hi and welcome. That's gonna be a no. They will fight. These guys are territorial. Males should have their own enclosure. Not even males and females should share enclosures at that age. So you definitely dont want to house males together.

I agree completely. Tortoises are not social animals. They don't want, need or particularly like company.

Another tort is competition for food and territory, not a friend.

Please don't think of putting them together ... ever... they will fight and fight bad.

Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

If you want to get another tortoise you'll have to set up a whole other, separate habitat for it.
