They are really cool to watch! Everyday I'm home I sit on my bench and watch it graze and walk around. Sometimes I do it for hours (only tortoise people understand that lol). It is only six inches and comes right up to me and eats carrots out of my hand. As to the shell I wish I could take credit, but that comes from being born in South Florida and proper nutrition.

How big is he really it's hard to tell without something next to him. Did you just buy him? That's quite a purchase.
I got him in May and he was 6 inches. It eats like a pig mainly grass, clover, rose of sharon which is a form of hibiscus is its its favorite treat. Now its july and its already grown to 7 inches. You can see its new growth lines in the pics of it eating a hibiscus flower.
