Looks like she's had 8 or so growth spurts, so I'd guess between 8 and 10 years of age. @Markw84 ???

Without know how this tortoise was kept it is hard to say. If kept well, indoors with stable temps, this tortoise could be perhaps in its 5th year of growth. That would be my best "GUESS"! It looks like it was kept well and grew pretty regularly with a very recent change that caused it to have a period of adjustment in the past several months. Perhaps @bolim04 you are keeping the tortoise drier now? Or it could just be a period of adjustment to a move, maybe 3-6 months ago?

You are right. I got it from someone who had her in a humid environement. Now she is in dryer condition.

There is no way to know. It could be 3 years old, or 30.
