: Yes, I would say that is in the normal range. Mine is 1.5 pounds 5 3/4 inches and 4 years old. Weight will very tremendously with what you feed them, temperature and sex.

Interestingly, I have 3 sulcata's, one at 52mths, & two(twins) at 37mths.
All three are housed together, fed the same & UK based (weather is not conducive with Africa.
My eldest is 44cm long X 33cm wide @ 13kgs(male,)with the twins 34 x 24 @7kg, 34 x 22 @6.5kg respectivly (poss both females.

My eldest(male) was 4kg @ 31mth, reaching 7.5kg @ 39mth.
Seems a big difference from the 1.5pound weight structure for similar aged torts.

just an observation......
