I was just curious if anyone had ever seen a growth chart of some sort for leopard tortoises. I am curious how much growing my leopard tortoise will be doing in the next year. Weight would be helpful too. I want to make sure my new leo is growing on time. I will be getting him next week.

They all grow at different rates depending on many factors like food, genetics, sunlight exposure, etc. You really can't compare to others. As long as yours is gaining weight and growing in size, you are good. Mine were slow growers for four years and then exploded in size.

I've experienced the same with several individuals.

That's good to know Neal. I was always wondering if the slow growth was something I was doing wrong.
