LeopardTortLover said:What kind of enclosure is that? As in, what was it described as? Because most vivariums are a lot smaller than that and dont have holes for light fixtures. Did you make the holes yourself? I'm very impressed with that enclosure!
jesst said:Zenna who we think is a male and now call Zuri just reached 458g or a pound. He is only 11.5 months old. Also are there any known risks for them growing so fast?
DesertGrandma said:Jess, my Humphrey looks just like Zuri. He is 1 year and 10 months now and is weighing in at 2 lbs. or apprx. 1000 grams. (s)He was exactly 500 grams on his first birthday.

Neal said:I don't think there are any risks really. Time will tell if there are any health issues with growing that fast, but I am not aware of any examples where a tortoise has suffered ailments from growing too fast.
That is very high for a babcocki leopard under a year. The tortoises from my smallest producing female typically range in the 100 - 200 gram mark after a year. I have had specimens from larger females top over 300 grams after a year, but never over 400. Locality genetics may be a factor in why yours has grown so fast.
