The Jackson Ratio can only be used with tortoises of average body morphology e.g Testudo hermanni and Testudo graeca.

This graph must not be used with any other species of tortoise.

When measuring for the Jacksons Ratio you must use a straight line carapace length, not over the curve of the shell or the plastron
