In Reply to: Sulcata Tortoise size and weight proportionate posted by Spike's mom on February 10, 2002 at 13:45:26:
: I originally posted the following last night, not realizing that I was posting in the wrong forum! Thanks Terry for the advice, any other tips, hints welcomed!
: A few months ago, I adopted Spike, a male Sulcata (African Spur-thighed Tortoise) from one of my customers (the hazards of working at a
: pet store!!!)
: I have spent quite a bit of time researching. I plan on willing him to my future grandchildren (that should be quite a while since my oldest child is
: only 11!)!
: I have no clue how old he is, his previous owner didn't tell me. He is far from full grown though. He appears very healthy, eats quite well, and is
: very active.
: The only info that I haven't been able to find is about how much should he weigh for his size. I know that tortoises are always heavier than they
: look like they should be (which he is).
: Does anyone out there have a chart? Also, any clues to figuring out a tortoise's age?
: Thanks in advance!
email me & I'll send you my data sheet "re comparrisom weights", but my torts are in the UK, & have been captive raised since 3mths.
Neverthe less it should give you some idea of size.
