He's Here! Is the age right?

[abclements]

Hey everybody!

He showed up today and I couldn't be more excited! Quick question for those that know more than I do though!

The box that he was shipped in said anywhere from 3-6 months old. He's awfully large for what I thought he would be. Maybe he's a little older?? He's about 3 inches (haven't officially measured him yet, just a guess) long and weighs 53.4 grams. I put him next to my friends Hermann's which is 7-8 months old, about 1.5 inches and 14 grams and obviously he is much much larger. Just curious if he's closer to a year or something else?

Anyways, attached are some pics of him!!!

PS: got him from Reptmart.com, he started wandering around the second I put him into his enclosure, ate very quickly and I couldn't be happier

Oh and he's a Cherry Head

I'm not a Redfoot expert, but I would say the 3-6 months is probably right on. Some one might be able to tell you an even closer guess then a three month span. Of course they all grow at diff. Rates, but a good guess will help.
Oh, Congrats, s/he's a cutie.

Hooray for baby torts! Yeah, 3-6 months is accurate. I've found that redfoots grow pretty well in their first year. Mine hit about 4".

I think it's accurate too more the 6month than the 3

Thanks everybody! That's exactly what I was hoping for!

redfoots are bigger than Hermans.. so they would be different at the same age...

be sure to give him a good soaking...
