As EJ said below....it may depend on what you feed it.

It can get 10 inches in 2 years or 5 inches in 4 years. Just depends!

Since a "bowling ball" is not the adult size, it may be hard for people to remember exactly when their tort reached that size.

I believe King Karl is about 75 pounds at about 12 years.

Since they can all grow at individual rates, there really may not be a concrete answer to your question.

: I asked how LONG [repeat, HOW LONG] does it take for the sulcata to get to the size of a bowling ball? And, how long does it take for it to grow full size???
