Sometimes foamy eyes means the tortoise got too hot, but then again, sometimes it's normal. You be the detective and look at the big picture.
appreciate your advice. Please see this. It is a post I started to talk about his eye "problem".White foam in eye's
Generally, the normal ones stop growing at around 120 pounds. Maybe 130. The Sudans keep going to 250 plus. If Sal is already 145 at 11 years old, and he has the characteristic high dome, I'd say he's a Sudan. @Markw84 would you agree? @DeanS ? WOW! He's gonna need a bigger house!tortoiseforum.org

He humps everything that he can find, so I just figured ?He is a really good looking Sulcata. Very nice. I'd say he's 140 lbs. You can generally find a feed store with a scale. An older feed store in some states has a scale in ground, he'd just walk on. See if you can find some place like that. I'm interested in his weight. Has he flashed you? if not, how do you know he's a male?
Take a regular bathroom scale and place an inverted 5 gallon bucket on it. Then set the tortoise on top of the bucket.This is my boy, no idea of weight he's about 11-12 years old, anyone want to take a guess on weight? I love all the pictures awesome looking babies.

Awesome! He looks to be part Hippo with that gular looking like huge teeth!Recently there has been some requests..."Let's see your Greeks, or Redfoots or other. But there never is a "lets see your Sulcata". I think it's because they are so popular and have so many topics with many photos all ready. So here it is...
Let's see your Sulcata who's over 10 years old...
