Age and size

[bedia]

Hi everybody,
Around late Nov 2013 we found a hatchling in our garden, kept him indoors and took really good care of him all winter, during May 2014 I marked him with red nail polish and let him free in our garden. He was seldom seen but happy in the garden.
Today I found these two in the garden and wonder if the marked one is Moris or if someone else marked another one of my torts. We have 6 rescued torts in a big walled garden and they mate all summer long. So I wonder if the younger one is another hatchling that we have not seen last summer or if Morris shed his paint someone else painted this guy?
I cannot believe how much he has grown since last summer? Incredible size difference??




Old photo of Moris from winter 2014is the last photo

wow! Great looking tortoises! lucky they get to live outside naturally =) Fortunately you cant really tell the age of a tortoise unless you really know when they hatched =(

Very sweet, GOD bless. I too have a Greek tort, and after a lot of research I have learnt that one cannot tell the age of a tort; too bad.
