CA Desert Growth?

[Ashmash]

Roughly how big would an year old CA desert tortoise be? Some one just gave me their tortoise that's supposed to be a 8 year old desert tort but he looks full grown?

Have you measured? Or weighed the tort yet? Any pictures?

 

[Ashmash]

I'll try to add some pictures. I can measure right now but not weigh.

 

[SamB]

Sounds great!

I'm using the iPhone app and can't figure out how to post pictures...

I got it. Haha

I think over all the tort looks really good. Coloring on the shell looks like a red foot perhaps? I'm not sure, but nice green eyes of a CDT.

Look like apropriate size for the age. Mine are older and about 13 to 14inches in length.

 

[Ashmash]

So is he some sort of mix? I'm confused... Haha

That certainly looks like a healthy 8 year old boy to me. His shell is in great shape. Consider yourself lucky. That is a prime specimen you've got there.

 

[Ashmash]

Ok awesome! Thank you very much!

Now my question is, I have an almost yearling CDT as well who lives in an outdoor tort table, as long as I keep the separate all will be fine, correct?
