[crocididdle]

any ideas?!

It might be a hatchling, but you need to give us some more information.

First, What species is "he"?

A picture would go a long way here.

I would say less than 3 months old. He could be older. It depends on how he was started out and your husbandry primarily.

(Just so no one thinks I'm crazy, the picture in post #1 wasn't there when I first responded)

My Herman is 3 inches and he was hatched in 2011, I know sulcatas grow a lot bigger than hermans but just so u have an idea, I do think like someone said its a hatchling, does it not say on the paperwork? X

...the tortoises growth rate are going to be influenced by the care he is receiving and has received.
