Suppose that a small mainland tortoise and a large island tortoise are placed in the same pen at a zoo. which tortoise will be more poikilothermic, the small or large tortoise?

The big turtle would be more because of it's big body structure and it having more mass for a different body temperature. The small one would be easier to keep the same since it's less mass.
