Still wondering what the concensus is:
1)
do living in in groups help them in any way? I read they are solitary, mostly except for mating, in the wild.
What do you all think (since Tommi Tortoise is a solitary girl about 3-4 yrs old.)
2) Actually how old IS she? Plastron is 5" and she weighs 1.5#. I've had her 18 mos. and she was maybe 3 inches and a hollow 7 Oz. when I got her. Do shell rings mean anything like a tree?
this is her size March 08 when I got her and then Nov 08 as new shell growth started. I should get a new photo.
thanks
