Hello, this is my 2nd time posting on the forum as I made a few mistakes on my first post and now I can't delete it!! Sorry!! but I have been a member since before I got my first tort (Sgt. Pepper) in October. I have a few questions so I just thought I'd ask them all in one place. This may get lengthy but I need help for my beautiful baby so please read.
Other than these concerns, Pep is an incredible, happy animal. He brings joy to my family and I every day. I just want him to be as happy and healthy as possible.
This forum has taught me so many things and I want to thank you all, because I could not have been able to properly cared for him without you!
And thank you in advance to those of you who respond!

- The first 2 pictures is the day I got him, which was October 12th. The 2 most recent picture at the bottom are from today (June 19). I was wondering if anyone could give me a guess on how old he is? I am not only curious but cannot properly plan a birthday party without some type of range!
- I would also love to know what subspecies of Greek tortoise he is. The breeder said he was a "Jordanian Greek, Testudo Graeca sp." After much research on that species, it doest seem to exist. "Jordanian Greek". Does anyone have an idea what subspecies he could be?
- Pepper also ONLY eats kale. And ONLY the "Turscan Kale" from Wegmans. I have tried various weeds and plants, and though he likes weeds sometimes I live far North so these weeds are not plenty 10 months of the year. If I don't give him Kale and give him something else, he won't eat! Does anyone have any tips or ideas on what to do about this picky eater?
