I got my cherry head tortoise about a month ago and I want to make sure it is in perfect health. It is 3” and weighs 63 grams/2.2lbs. It is 4 months old. Is this healthy?

Please add photos. Also did the seller say how the bay was raised ie. closed chamber, high heat, high humidity? Size can vary for a lot of reasons

I'm confused, 63 grams or 2.2lbs?

Looks pretty good too me. They all grow at different rates. My Cherryhead averaged about 20-30 gram gain per month.
