Well an adult Russian needs a 4x8 space so the time to start thinking is now. Will you have an outdoor enclosure? What will you do with him in the winter? Brumate or keep him up? You can get away with the 40 gallon for the first year but you will definitely be needing to upgrade after that

Okay so after about a year I was think about a tortoise table but I didn't know when to do it

When they reach about 3-4 inches, its time to upgrade.
