From what I understand she will grow up to 10", but it will depend on her parents size. I just love her so much,I have wanted a tortoise since I was a little girl but they banned importing them to UK and breeders here were difficult to find, after that they were too expensive for me while my kids were small, now they are grown up with their own families I can have one (and maybe more).
Congratulations on your new family member. A lovely tort it is.
I have found tortoises are like potato chips. You can't just have one!
Misty :o)
Von, what species of Greek is Tilly? She is a beautiful. (Greeks are my favorites)
Misty is right they are kinda like potato chips. But I find torts are even harder to resist.

Soooooo True!!!!!!
She (or he) looks like an Ibera - the most common Greek Spur Thigh tortoise availiable in the UK - she looks just the same as mine.
Oh my good gosh, she is sooooo adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all for the lovely comments, I think she is gorgeous, and she has settled in so well. All I can tell you with regards to her species is what is on her certificate and that is, Testudo graeca. Any help?
she is lovely, great pics
i agree with George, Tilly is a Testudo graeca ibera
looks like my little ones.
S/he is sooo cute!!!!! Congrats on your new little one...
Can anyone tell me at what rate I can expect tilly to grow roughly please? For example how big can i expect her to be at ages 1, 2, 3 ect,, and at what age will she be fully grown? I read that she can grow up to 10" but it didn't say how long it takes for her to grow that big. It's not important, I am just curious.
