I've had my lil leopard tortoise since July, and anthem Guy said she hatched around February. She's currently about 2 3/4 inches. I've measured her since August, and wi within these 4 months, she's grown 1/2 inch.
I know they all grow different speeds, but does she seem to be on track?
Thank You

Sorry about my auto correct. The * Guy, not anthem.

I think that a 1/2' in four months is a good positive result. And you're right, it's extremely variable. Diet, genetics, temperatures, all contribute. I think that the amount of water they drink adds as well.

It looks like you tried to add an attachment, but I don't see anything.

1/2" growth in 4 months is very good.

Hmmm...as long as he/she is healthy it's fine but I will say that most I see are usually a little larger than that by now but some do tend to grow slower than others. What is it's diet and enclosure like?
