: I've just purchased a 3 month old sulcatta that is about 3" long. Can anyone advise how fast he/she is going to grow? I'm prepared for him/her to become jumbo, but how fast does this happen? How much a year? Inches/pounds? What can I expect in 5 years? When are they fully mature (25" or so)? I've been reading a lot, but haven't found an answer. Thanks. All suggestions welcome!

Hi Lisa,
I'll send you gobs of care info off list ok?
There is no set growth scale for these guys because too many things can effect it: The sex of the animal, diet, exercise, genes, the locality of where the parents are from and on and on.
On the African Tortoise List, we have a databse where members have uploaded this sort of information to help ppl like your self get a better feel for averages.
The link to the group is below ok?
Take care,
tcc :)
