Russian age?

[kte]

Hi everyone! I just got my first tortoise 2 weeks ago, a Russian. He came from Craigslist and only a few weeks prior was purchased from Petsmart. The girl I got him from told me he was a year in March but that can't be right. He's mature, 4.5 inches long and weighs 365 grams.
Can anyone give me an approximate age?

Age is hard to tell in WC russians,which he/she is,from petsmart. A lot of factors go into a tortoise age ,food (amounts)and such.Not full grown either @ 4.5 inches.

Yeah I figured he was WC. I couldn't tell you what he was fed at Petsmart or before, but I know the person who had him before me had him on ExoTerra pellets.
I was just hoping for an estimate, like 2-5 or 10+ years?

Well he is male 4.5 inches,I would say under 10 years, can't do more than that,and even that is a guess.

4-40 years. Its unlikely that he's les than 4.

Thank you both!

In my opinion, he's 8 to 10 years of age.
