I only just realized that when I bought Tywin, I fell for the classic "He's about a year old" scam (lol). The only reason I even questioned this was because they said they got him as a hatchling, and had him for a year. But, they had him in a 20 gallon fish tank with half the bottom covered in hay and with nothing else, so there is no way they would have grown a healthy tortoise like that!
The picture of him in his water bath was when I first got him, March 2020, and the other one is from today. He has been exactly 5 inches the whole time, and hasn't grown at all.
Do you have any idea how old he could be? Based on my googling skills, I assume he has to be older than 5. I am just wondering at this point, since I always thought he'd be around for 30-40 years.
