To measure the tort properly you turn it on its back and measure the plastron from the front of the shell under the chin, to the end of the shell past the tail. If you measure the tort this way and you still get 12" consider youself the owner of a full grown redfoot.

: I just purchased a red foot tortoise at a local pet store.
: The owner said someone just brought it and and gave it to him
: and that he had no other information. So i dont know the age
: or anything. But it si a female about 12" long.
: About what age/size before they are mature? What about males?
