Hi all,

my tort, The Rock, is 6.7cm and 59.5g, Jackson ratio says that's a 0.20 which is ideal mass, however, I don't think this takes into account their age?
he is 1yr and 8months old.

Here are some photos :)

Do these numbers sound about right?

Thanks

I've never used the Jackson ratio, so I can't help you, I'm sorry. I just go by how heavy in my hand he feels. If he feels like a rock, that's good, however if he feels like an empty shell, he's too light.
