    Can someone tell me how old my two sulcatas are?

    Hello all. 4 days ago I had purchased two small sulcata tortoises. Both of which are about as big as a base ball. I bought them from a close neighbor for really cheap because I am his neighbor, who in hindsight isnt a very good sulcata breeder. He had shown me most of his sulcatas, from...
