Looks great. Minimal pyramiding, if at all. I would keep him off the fruits, though.

75$ for all that is a great deal, too.

I'd do it!

I agree, it does sound a bit off. I know a few that have reached 10-12 inches at full grown, and either way 10 inches isn't that far off from how big they generally get (around 15").

Pretty sure it's impossible for a foot long Tort to weigh that little. I'd say a 10 inch RF would weigh around 20lbs. =p

One thing I have learned in the tortoise business is that people have no idea how to measure lol. That tortoise is probably right around 6 inches. I have had a person swear to me that he had a 3 foot long sulcata which is just an absolute monster and I looked at him and he was probably 12 inches no joke lol I just couldnt figure out what he was thinking.

Yeah, pretty looking tort but no way is it 10-11 inches! Look at the size of those food and water bowls. I'd guess 5.5" because he looks about as big as mine.

Never trust people's measurements, and the guy looks a bit pale and probably dry to me. I might try to wheedle him down from $75 on that basis. "I'd be happier if it weighed more like [whatever the Donoghue ratio says]. He feels like he may be a bit dehydrated." or something.
