I can't tell with those pictures, but he must've shed.Just yesterday, I though he was a lot smaller. He was no longer flat, but he wasn’t a full dome shape either. I wish I had better pics from yesterday gor a reality check!

I didn’t know they could do that! Well, he seems to have changed shape.I can't tell with those pictures, but he must've shed.
They don't, disregard that. Tortoises aren't snakes, they don't shed to grow.I didn’t know they could do that! Well, he seems to have changed shape.
Thanks!

I guess you still had something to learn
" Just like humans and many other animals, tortoises do shed their skin. Tortoises shed skin from their head, limbs, and tails in the form of patches and flakes on quite a regular basis.

No problem! I have a food scale. I guess I can dedicate it to Matteo. Thanks!@Quixx66 Apologies for your thread getting hijacked somewhat. I don't know why it would appear your tortoise grew overnight. Maybe the carapace was more moist the next day and it appeared different to you. If you don't already have one you can get a small digital scale and weigh your tortoise. You can do it every few days and track the growth. That way you'll know for sure how fast your tort is growing.
I’ll check it out, thanks. I looked, but didn’t see any big scales, but I guess it doesn’t have to be.They do. Tortoise Shedding: What's Normal and What Isn't | Tortoise Owner

It’s a joke... I thought it was funny.That isn't even a tortoise. What does that have to do with this.
I'm pretty sure that "joke" was intended to make fun of me.It’s a joke... I thought it was funny.
I asked the question about Matteo getting bigger overnight so I assumed it was intended to rib me! I set myself up for it, I thought. So I laughed.I'm pretty sure that "joke" was intended to make fun of me.
FTT, with all due respect, the Judge Judy meme was posted after you posted that the joke was directed at you, and in response to that. The meme clearly indicates to me that it was not in fact directed at you.[Removed]
