Hello world of tortoise lovers! My names Ashley and i'm new to the form and i was wondering if anyone out there could help me figure out how old my little guy is. So a little over a year ago i got a greek tortoise as a birthday present from either petco or petsmart. He is about 3 inches from the bottom of his shell to the top, 6 inches long, and about 4 inches width. I will also attach pictures to make it easier. I hope someone could help me out.
Thanks!
Ashley&Sheldon

p.s.
He is also very squirmy and likes to run away from people is that normal?

He sure is good looking. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to get an exact age. I'll take a wild guess and say 5-15years. Being wild caught, it is not uncommon for them to shy away from humans.

He looks to be between 5 and 10 years of age.

He's a fine looking fellow! I'd agree with between 5-15 yo also. Can we get more pics? Can't see his face or plastron.
