Update!

[avelovestorts]

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in a long time, so I thought it would be good to do an update on Ernie. He is doing great! He eats a ton, he is very active, and I feel like his shell has grown smoothly so far! He is around 5 months old.. I weighed him yesterday, and he is 117g. Does that sound good?
Here are some pics-

the tongue is just so cute!

This obviously isn't Ernie I got this for Christmas, I love it! It's hand beaded and made in South Africa

He looks great. As far as weight, they grow at such different rates its hard to tell. But as long as he eats, poo's, is active, and soaks good then I'm sure all is well!

Looking good! Just curious, what's his carapace length?

I just did some checking on my Cooper's size. When he was 3 months old he was around 140 grams. But you have to take into considerstion that he is now 23 months old and 23 pounds. He is a monster for some reason. So I think yours is at a real good weight for his age.

Ernie is a good looking young sulcata. The weight seems to be about right also.

It is 3 1/4 inches. That's not completely accurate, he doesn't like to sit still

I know what you mean. I have about ten pictures on my phone of a blurry tortoise next to a measuring tape.
