Does anyone have a really large Russian tortoise? The largest one I have is a little over 7 inches.

I had a really large one - but I just gave her to Jenny Dawn. She was too large for my enclosure!

About what size was her?

 

[kimber_lee_314]

I never measured her - but she weighed more than 1000 grams.

Well, I thought Fat Nat was pretty large, but I guess not...she's 6.5 inches and 698 grams. Only her body is bigger than her shell. So she looks like a fatty reptile wearing a hat, and she only has one eye. She's not pretty in the least

She may not be pretty, but she sounds interesting...

I have a few females just at about 7". Many years ago 8" WC females weren't uncommon. Much bigger than that is pretty rare. Around the early 90's a reptile importer here in New York State had a female that was 10". Biggest I've ever seen and haven't seen one like it since.

Most people want a little baby. 10" wow that is a nice size Russian.
