Greek Age

[BigBiscuit]

Hello Tortoise Lovers,

Here are some pictures of Smiley. We got her two weeks ago. I called the pet store, and they told me she is 6 months-1 year old. Is this feasible? I measured her plastron at 4 inches.

Thanks,

Evan

Hi Evan,
Your Greek is wild caught and probably around 6 years old.

ya i would say she is about 5-6 years old, the petstore was really off maybe they were thinking of a sulcata cuz thats about the size of a 1year old.

The tortoise was purchased by my brother at PetSmart in central Iowa, U.S.

I called a couple of days ago, and the guy on the phone said he remembered my tortoise, and said that all of their tortoises are captive bred, and that mine was no more than 1 year.

That is why I am glad I joined this forum.

Thank you, all!

Smiley is a very sweet looking Greek. I love the heart on her nose in the pic with your watch. Regardless as to her age or size, I am sure you love her none the less, and she is lucky to have your as a forever home.
