We've (maybe) got a birthday over here! I bought my lil turtis, Mort, in November 2023 when he(?) was 68g. At the beginning of this year, the growth became exponential! Very exciting 
Mort's growth vs. expected growth (sources: tortoise resource center, turtle hub, hepper. There is a serious lack of peer-reviewed data on Sulcata growth. And maybe that's fine because they are all so different).

Mort's growth vs. expected growth (sources: tortoise resource center, turtle hub, hepper. There is a serious lack of peer-reviewed data on Sulcata growth. And maybe that's fine because they are all so different).
