Tortoises are probably about as closely related to snakes as you are to a squirrel. :)
They are both reptiles (just as you and a squirrel are both mammals), but tortoises are a very old kind of reptile, and snakes are the newest kind of reptile. Snakes are more closely related to lizards--but still not all that closely related.
