How old?

I have been wondering for some time now if my two horsefield torts are between 1 and 2 years old. Can anyone help. They are 92 and 95 cm long.

I have two horsfields that both hatched July 2006.  They are relatively large tortoises for Russians but their mother is a big girl weighing in at over 1600 gr., and their Straight Carapace Length, measured from underneath, is 8.5 and 9.0 cm.  I also have 1 Russian tortoise that hatched in June 2007 and its SCL is 6.5 cm.

Hiya,

It really depends on how quickly he has grown. My six year olds are still relatively small compared to some of the monsterous 2 year olds I've seen. The difference is the quality of growth. Is your tortoise quite smooth - have you any photos please?
