How fast will my EBT grow?

[ajpena]

I've had my baby EBT for a little over a month now. It's eating great and doing good overall. My question is about how big will it get a year from now? I know what to expect when it's full grown, but how fast is fast?

Just relax and enjoy the ride. All turtles and tortoises grow at their own individual pace. I would expect that a baby box turtle at around a year of age might possible be the size of a 50cent piece or maybe even a silver dollar.

Here's a picture of my biggest from last year, and one about a month old.

The one on the left is a year old!!!!???? Wow!

Wow! I didn't know there would be so much variation in their growth rate. I want to make sure I'm ready with the right size enclosure.

Chances are that yours won't be as big as my mutant. Probably more like half that size would be more likely. I have a couple the same age that are much smaller.
