Preloved Ad - Asking for a friend - Do the weight of the biggest tortoise seen right?

[yagyujubei]

I suspect that these three were measured over the curve rather than SCL,I'm going to say that the biggest one is most probably around 14". The two smaller males, around 10". If I am correct, then their weight is right on.

It looks like you might be correct which would make it more reasonable.

It was nice - really nice of you Anita, and thanks also for pointing Ruth in the direction of SW.

I'm afraid you are going to get conflicting views in alomost every part of Tortoise keeping - but you get to know the people whose advice you trust, mix it up with your own findings and eventually you find your own way

Sorry to disagree but I think the mutual congratulations have gone too far already. There has been heaps of pouncing and condemning here.

But those leopards.......no idea!

[EJ]

I think the point is that there are some who are not so quick to do the pouncing and there are some who are. There are some who are overly judgemental... and... some who are not.

It's interesting how you would speak out against those who would accept the difference of opinion of another.

Thought similar after reading the measurement's.
