Clueless Tortoise

Wow. Ur torts are stunning! What should I continue to do now that I have an estimate and some knowledge about my little guy? I want to do all the right things, and give him the best life that he could possibly have.More myth than reality. The tortoises can get several rings one year and only one another year. It depends upon their condition and the circumstances in which they are living.
Here is a photo of three Radiated Tortoises. I hatched all of them so know that they are 1, 2, and 3 years old. If you tried to count the rings, they would all seem a lot older than they really are, because they were raised in ideal conditions. Note that the shells are all in perfect condition as well.
