Hi,
I have a 7-year-old Herman's tortoise that I have been weighing and measuring for the past month, but all I have been getting are inconsistent results. The tortoise's weight one day would be much higher than the previous week and then lower the next week. And measuring the straight carapace length changes from 15.7cm to 16.1cm the other. I would gently press her front against the wall, use a ruler to draw a straight line, and measure the length marked on a piece of paper that was beneath her. How would you weigh and measure your tortoise?
