Who has the largest CDT?

Largest, giant, biggest, whatever you want to say. Who has the largest CDT? I highly doubt I have the largest one, but I am always interested.
Sherman is about 13" front to back of shell and 18-20 lbs.

I've got three pretty big females. It's too late in the day today, but tomorrow I'll get their pictures and weigh and measure them for this thread.

I have always been told size matters not, looks like I have been lied to.
Impressive lookin CDT.

Luke Skywalker here is a WC adult male. He is also 13" and about 15lbs. He has been putting on weight since his amputation last year.

I was able to get two of mine, but the third, the one with the neat green eyes, is way back inside their house. I'll try to get her later.

I have Pokey, who came to me earlier this week from Washington State. She weighs 13lbs and is 12.5" SCL



and then there's Skinny Minnie. I had to keep her up this past winter because she wasn't eating and she had lost a lot of weight. She's still skinny enough to make me worried about her, however she has started to eat again and hopefully she'll snap out of it. She weighs 14lbs and is 13"SCL:

And here she is beside Mi-Shell, an average sized desert tortoise:

Agatha is about 15"? There's a ruler beside her in this photo. I thought she was Sulcata because of her size, but I have been told she looks like a CDT.

Absolutely, DT.

Mine is least 50 years old but our vet thinks he could be older like 70+ years old. Henry, mine DT weighs about 19.5 lbs and is 17 inches.
