Age?

So I bought my Russian Tortoise from Petsmart and they told me he was about a year old but I really don’t trust that. But he is 6 inches long so would anybody happen to know about how old he would be from his length?

Probably 10-15 years or up. Nice tortoise!

Oh wow!? You really think he might be that old already.

Yup, at six inches if it is a male that would be pretty much full grown and could be super old. If it's a female, it is not full grown and still growing, at probably 10-15 years.
