Hi CB hope all is good x yes was 2015, but he is a 2014 tort.
Hi Sandy, I'm not over feeding him (about size of shells worth) and he gets plenty of exercise, eats weeds and shop leafy greens (watercress, rocket, lamb lettuce), pre alpin and nothing bad, like fruit. His shell looks in great shape lovely colour and quite smooth. What do you suggest? X

Looks good to me too. Sometimes I think they have little growth spurts. You sound as if you're providing a good diet and sensible amount and his shell is looking fine. Keep it up.
