This tortoise box is 37 x 25 x 13 inches in size. Would this be big enough for adult box turtle, or adult russian? You can also connect two of these together if needed. Thanks!

No. It's basically 6 square feet. An adult tort needs a minimum of 4'x8' = 32 square feet. You would need 8 of those to provide the minimum!

An old bookcase with the shelves knocked out and lined with pond liner or shower curtain makes a great tortoise table.

Sorry to say but no, That is only big enough for a hatchling..... Adult box turtles and Russians need a lot of room to roam.

An adult? No.
But if you have a baby now, you could get some time out of it.
If you haven't already purchased the box, Borrow the design and make one that is much larger.
