Thanks, I got my young male from Jeff Gee. My female - 17"+ scl and 32 pounds I got from Underground reptiles about three years ago. I'm in North central Ohio.

they actually look great so really. I was told by my vet who is a tortoise keeper an an exotic and reptile specialist that they dont grow very fast an not too wory if they do take a while to grow though. I dont intetionally grow them slowly just feed them enought to cover their shell so to speak or when they are outdoors they eat what they want. Did you rehome the big one on the left as it appears to have a stuck scute ?
