how long does it take...

a Russian to grow to be four inches in size?
a Red-Foot to grow to be four inches in size?
a Leopard to grow to be four inches in size?
Spiders?
Greeks (in general)?
(from birth, of course, and approximately, of course!)

Kelly.. " on the average " a redfoot will reach 4" SCL the first year.. another 1.5 - 2" SCL the second year and 6.5+" SCL by the third year.

Your male started like so.. [ note date/size ]..

I just measured him.. he is 6.5" SCL.

Thanks, Terry! They surely do grow QUICK!

No one knows about the others???

All i can go by is what i have here and thats a 4 inch Turkish greek (trying to get the lingo its an Ibera to me lol) and he was hatched in 04.
Then i have a 5 year old male Russian who is now coming onto 4 inches.

Just to add they do all seem to grow at different rates though i also have two sibling Turkish greeks and one of those will be 4 inches before i know it and she is only 18 months old.

FIVE YEARS for a RUssian??? Wowsa! Slow growers!

The 2 bigger tortoises, Redfoots and Leopards are going to get 4 inches quicker than the other 3. I've gotten a Leopard 4 inches in a bit less than 2 years.
Spiders usually take 4 or 5 years to get to 4 inches
I would say about 2 to 3 years for a Greek or Russian to get 4 inches
