jason g. said:Agreed I was told mine was 5 months when I got her and by the way her shell growth was I would say she was older. She was pyramided quite a bit for 5 months and she was only 3 inches.In the next 5 months that i had her she doubled in size and now she's staying at 5.5" and beefing up big time. She's not growing in diameter but she's getting some girth!!

That's how big his shell is, I didn't measure from his head, am I supposed to? Sorry, I know this should probably be common knowledge, but I'm very nervous since he's so young and he's my first. I want to make sure I know any and everything I possibly can about this little guy =) I don't want to lose him due to my mistake, I already love him so much, and I've only had him a week today lol.
