Can anyone tell me if this is a good size for a russian tortoise? I found it really cheap at a goodwill and i was planning on cleaning it out real good because it looks like the previous owner used it for fish.

No. It's way too small. Russian tortoises need to be outside, and if that's not possible, then 4'x8' is the minimum indoor size.

That size would be just fine for a tiny russian hatchling. It will be far too small for anything bigger than that.

Looking at it more and more it does look a tad too small, but heres a new question, what do you think i could keep in this maybe a hamster? It looks a little small for a guinae pig, i just love animals and keeping pets, and i got this baby for a good price i souldnt want it to go to waste, if worse comes to worse i could put some hermit crabs in it. Also ill try and get the dimensions soon, ive been working and havent been able to do much with it so it has sat in my backyard for a couple days now.

What are the dimensions of the tank? Looks too small even for a dwarf hamster... Sorry.
