I got my Russian tortoise back in 2011 and I measured his shell, and it was 4 inches long.
When I got him, he was very sick. He had worms, and the vet I took him to overdosed him with antiprotozoans and nearly killed all his gut microbes. So I had to feed him probiotics for months. After 2 years he finally reached a healthy weight, and recently I noticed growth lines and he felt heavier.
Measured him and he's 4 and a half inches now!
Would this give me a clue as to how old he is?
