RE: Weight
What species?

There is really not an "ideal" since there is such a huge range of normal growth. Some grow fast the first couple of years and then slow down. Others start slow, but then sprout...
Some lessons I learned the hard way, so you don't have to:

5.2 Geochelone pardalis pardalis

RE: Weight
Let me know your tortoise's length, ideally in centimeters, done the way the appendix at the bottom of the article describes, and I will do the math for you.
