Yes they can start flashing quite young. I’ve had a few flash as early as 1 year old and 300g. Others I haven’t caught flashing until they were over 700g.

I had all of mine sexed around 18-20 months old. A couple slow growing males took until around 24 months before I was sure.

Looking back at my notes, my males were all 500-600 grams at around 24 months, except one large male that was 932. Females were are in the 900 range at that time.

Do you mean you got it from AZ Tortoise Compound? Or is AZ Tortoise Inc. a different seller that I have not heard of?
