I know without a hatchling date I cant possibly know an actual age. Any guess as to how old Bruce Banner is?

Looks like that one has had a bit of a dry start - so probably grew a bit slower. My guess would be about 2-3 months old.

Here's one of mine that hatched May 4th for comparison. Took this picture just now...

For size reference
With these pictures, it looks like your sully is maybe 4 weeks old. I think I still see the caruncle egg tooth which normally will be gone in 5 weeks. Also from these angles, your tortoise looks better than I though from the previous picture. Looks like a nice start and a good baby.

Bruce definitely has a point on the beak, elated to know it may just be an egg tooth!! Was quite worried it might be a growth.
