I did baby Lewis’ weight measurements today and he is 66 grams! Does that seem normal?

What age/size can you tell gender? I’m assuming around 6” like most torts ❤️

Great, thank you!

Even with his shell still being pliable underneath? I was thinking 4 months. Is there a particular reason you say so? I’m learning 😁

He’s never done this before! It’s so strange that he would start now out of all times… he’s almost 21!

Thank you! Can parasites make him aggressive?

Hello there. I have an older Russian tortoise estimated to be 20+ years old. He is super active and has been having signs of breeding behaviors and chases everything with his mouth open ready to nip. He’s been eating just fine. Temps are perfect- 100 under basking spot, 80/85 cool side and 70...

@Tom @wellington @Yvonne G Does anyone have a "guesstiment" on age? Would you say 3 months is fair due to his pliable plasteron?

I measured him today! He’s about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. Does anyone have a guess on age? His shell is pliable in the umbilical region, no where else, just there.

Interesting, thank you!

Thank you! I think it suits him!

I picked my baby up today! He’s extremely active and started eating within the first hour! He’s doing great. Jambo didn’t seem to fit him so I changed his name to Lewis 😂 🤎

Thank you!! And thank you for your reassurance on you reply. It really helps me to know that he can live a normal and long healthy life, even with this abnormal scute! 🥰 and yes, I agree, I LOVE it too!

@zovick Are these the scutes you are referring to?
