I had one like this. Hardly grew at all for the first two or three years, due to a dry start, and then somehow, "made it over the hump" and started a huge growth spurt that hasn't stopped since.

Im pretty sure he was raised dry he said he keeps his hachlings and younger torts in a dog kennel outside during day then brings them in at night was feed romaine lettuce and soaked him once a week
