Russian and Redfoot in one terrarium?

[SuperGoKana]

I have one small male Russian Tortoise and one male Red Footed Tortoise, each currently in seperate enclosures, each feed separately. The Red Foot is significantly bigger, but rather humble around any life form. The Russian tends to be shy. Would it be alright to put the two in one terrarium? And, if so, how much room would they need? Thanks!

The easy answer here is 'no' and similar questions are answered almost daily if you would like to search for corroboration and additional detail.
Also worth exploring though is that Redfoots are rarely humble and Russians rarely shy. You may wish to double check their temps.

Definitely not. They have very different habitat and dietary requirements. You should not be keeping them similarly. Risk of injury and disease is also possible.

Agree with the above. Bad idea for many reasons. Different diet and environment needs. Different pathogens. They will fight.

Species should never be mixed, and tortoises should not be kept in pairs.

These two species also have very different temperature, humidity and dietary requirements. They are also not behaviorally compatible. At no time should these two spices living in the same enclosure.
