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).

RE: Tilly
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!

RE: Tilly
Von, what species of Greek is Tilly? She is a beautiful. (Greeks are my favorites) Big Grin
Misty is right they are kinda like potato chips. But I find torts are even harder to resist.

RE: Tilly
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.

RE: Tilly
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?

RE: Tilly
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.
