Optimus Prime just pass 1000g

[mojo_1]

I know it's not the same but mojo just hit 353g and just under 5". Another 9 years and he'll maybe be 30 lbs

Effectively 6 months and 4lbs. Keep up the great work Optimus. Exciting!

Stump (State Pumpkin size) is now 2yrs and almost 5 months. 18.5" long, 12.75" wide, 8.5" high and hovering around 42.5 lbs. It's ridiculous. Either he's just going to stop or really start slowing his growth this winter or he'll be 50lbs+ @ 3years old.

This is one of the weeks with his shell pretty much filled in. Not a whole lot of pyramiding now that he's digging pretty hard core on a weekly basis.

For scale those beams are 6x6 beams. He's over 12" high when standing and almost 13" wide toward where his front legs are.


Figgy aka the figster is now hovering at just under 2lbs @ 880g and will be 1year old next week. Growing smooth and at a more reasonable/enjoyable pace. Same diet and care as Stump and actually eats more.

Amazing, Stump is beautiful I cannot believe how fast they are growing.

Little Bumblebee looks like a a shrimp compared to OP. I know Bee will not get anywhere near the size of OP, but it still blows my mind.

Mojo is beautiful and just as exciting to see growing nicely

I have realized I haven't posted any updates on Optimus lately.

Today OP weighed in at 3211g and 10"

Thats an insane growth this year. Mine is ~1800 g, i am afraid from next year, when he will outside from the spring.

1800g is awesome and yours is real smooth. Great job. The figster, my small one, is 1yr 1mo and still hovering about 2lbs. 890 - 910g or so. Active as heck every day and eats a lot. I remember when Optimus was a little guy. He’s big now!!! He does great with those plastic flaps. Optimus looks really good.

My other one, that dude is huge. 19 1/4” long from gular to the back of his carapace last night. He is the most gentle sweet boy tortoise imaginable. 2yrs 6mo.

If he had the personality of the small one, and his size, I’d have a real problem on my hands.

Same with Optimus Prime. Lately I've been saying boy, but watch he turns out to be a girl. Oh well Optimus won't care about his name.

Love the growth updates! Optimus is getting hefty How are you getting his weight now? I imagine he's too big for a food scale lol

Yes he is. I have switched to the bathroom scale.

 

[ryan57]

Former "Little" stumpy was 20.2Kg or 44.53lbs at the vet on Friday. @ a few weeks over 2.5yrs old.



Riding in the back of the Mustang above and and he got a lot taller below. At least 1/2" in the past couple weeks.
He's 19.5" long now and just spread out wider as he got taller. Hoping/knowing he'll fill in like he always does.

The food is turning into a financial commitment! LOL!

I feel really guilty putting my little one upside down on the small scale for a couple seconds but s/he won't stay still for nothing! When I put a container big enough I can read the scale. Can't wait until larger like Optimus Prime to make the scale switch.

If I tilt Mojo up too far he flips out, like an 80's video game glitching. His head and legs go nuts.
