I see much advice on here that is based on juvenile / adult so I am hoping someone can tell me what category I'm working with and tell me about how old my girl is. Chop her food or give it whole leaves, etc. First pic is front to back of shell, 2nd side to side to where they connect.0828171747.jpg 0828171747c.jpg

There is no way to tell the age without knowing the hatch date. Many factors can influence growth rate.

At nearly five inches, you can treat yours like an adult.

I feed whole leaves to all ages of all species. From tiny hatchlings to 100+ plus adult sulcatas.
