The only way to know a tortoise's age is to know the hatch date.

Care to share some info with us? Where are you? Where did you get the tortoise? How are you housing it? Etc...

And why are you desperate? What is the urgent matter?

Hi Michaela, and welcome to the Forum!

I don't understand the desperation here. If you posted that way to be sure someone would answer your question, that's not necessary. No posts are ignored here on our Forum.

Tessie looks to be about a year old. But that's purely a guess. Also, it looks like you're in the habit of keeping Tessie out of her enclosure. She'll grow better if she's allowed to stay in her warm, humid environment.

Please read the care sheet that's pinned at the top of our Leopard section.

Welcome. 8 months to 2 years old. Depending on how it was cared for and grown up as a hatchling. As tom stated noway to know exactly unless you got it as a hatchling from the breeder.

The reason why I'm saying that I'm desperate is because my friend is buying her tomorrow and wants to know the age

You want to sell it to your friend? Is it wild-caught? You wrote it was found two days ago. This is quite confusing... o_O

30 grams is a typical hatch weight but it's growth lines indicate it's definitely not "new". I think the 6 months to 1 year are accurate guesses but at that weight, I fear this little one has some issues.
