Hi! I've just found out that my leopard tortoise (currently called Flint) is not as old as originally thought, I was originally told he was a year old but I've just found out he was actually hatched mid-December 2016. I'm just curious as to whether he's a good size for his age? He weighs 76 grams and is around 4.3 inches long. Does this sound healthy? I originally bought a tortoise table before knowing I was buying a leopard but now it is covered by a plastic greenhouse to keep the humidity in. Average temp is around 30 degrees and I keep the humidity above 80% the majority of the time. I've ordered new plants to improve his diet as it's a bit boring at the moment (mainly lamb's lettuce, dandelion leaves, watercress and recently nettles) so hopefully that will help him gain a bit of weight. He has access to cuttlefish, a humid hide and a cool end. I bath and spray him daily and I let him into his outside run whenever it's warm enough. Is there any tips anybody can give for helping to keep him as healthy and happy as possible? Thanks
