Clueless Tortoise
Active Member
Hi,
So recently I've been on other threads that I have created wondering why my tortoise was so big for his age. After other members looking at him and his shell, they believe he is a wild caught RT. I was young when I got him so I had no idea, and I feel terrible. Other members also believe that he is older than he was said to be. Below are some images and stats on him. I know nobody can know for certain, but I would like to get as many people as possible to give me a rough estimate if they can. ( Side note: his shell has always been dinged up and scuffed, since I got him, and makes me believe even more he was wild caught.) Also is he overweight? Thanks:
Weight: 425 grams (15 oz)
SCL: 4.75 inches
Date I got him: August 1, 2014
Breed: Russian tortoise
Most likely WC ?
