Hi, I am new here from Seattle, Washington state. I have two tortoise in my home. One is Sulcate which is about 7.5 cms currently. I bought it from a breeder in Las Vegas at the end of May 2018 at about 5.5 cms. The breeder said it was hatched in mid-April 2018. The other one is a Russian Tortoise bought from Petco which is about 9.5cms when I got it in late July 2018. The petco employee said it was 1 year and 2 months at that time but I don't believe so thought. I don't think a Russian tortoise will grow to 9.5cm in 1 year and 2 months so its age is still unknown. I guess maybe more than 3 years old. I plan to get a Leopard tortoise maybe next year from a breeder. Also radiated tortoise if any available in Washington state.
