I surely don't know specific intestine length stats, but... I know my vet has used the horse analogy. She's said that, intestinally, tortoises are like horses with shells, that they have lots of bowel curled around in there. (I don't know that this actually adds anything to the discussion, but the "horse poop" description reminded me of my vet's comment.)
