My tortoise healthy size for his age

[Benjtort]

my sulcata is almost 2 years old now and is around 6-8 inches long is that a healthy growth point for his age

(I Know they all grow differently but in average)

I was wondering if there was a chart with “guidelines”, would be good for reference !!! Anyone???

Many factors go into growth rate. Diet, environment, genes, just to name a few. There are several posts throughout the forum from folks submitting their growth charts. Scope some of them out and take a look. If you compare all the sulcata charts, you will notice widely varying degrees of growth. Use them as a guideline and not a rule. As long as your tort has steady upward growth and is overall healthy, then that is what matters most.

That is a little on the small side for 2 years old, but nothing to worry about.

Ok
He was at least 2 inches when I got him so he’s grown quiet a bit
