This is Bing. He will be eight in August. He’s probably a little over 10 lbs. His foot was down on the ground when trying to weigh him. He’s not quite 12 inches. Just curious as to thoughts on if he’s small for his age? He’s been a hard keeper. My sulcata is totally smooth but this guy was hard to raise and still is. Picky eater. If ever a tortoise was hyper, it’s him.

He's quite a pretty tortoise, isn't he!

Hard to say about his size for his age. They all grow at different rates, and with different care. He looks good to me.

I think he looks absolutely beautiful. Sounds like he’s got quite the personality as well.
