I have a Herman’s tortoise, I got him/her (not sure yet) September 29th of 2020 and he was about the size of a coin, now September 2021 he is about the size of my hand! Wondering if this is okay as I’m getting mixed advice! I’ve included pics of him when I got him last year and how big he is now.

Tortoises grow at different rates. Don’t feel bad my Sulcata is a year and a half and is already 10 pounds. I think you’re okay. He has some beautiful markings!!

Growth looks great to me.
