Tortoise size and weight
Hi folks measured Sherman the Hermann today with card on floor and up against a flat edge he is about 10.8 cm or 108 mm and weighs in at 169g he is 5 do these measurements seem ok.Tried the Jackson Ratio but there are not many markers on the weight scale 100 200 300 etc.

Hi,
I use this program to calculate weight. http://www.ahailey.f9.co.uk/cond.htm#calc It works for greeks, hermanns and marginateds. I did the calculations and it says your tortoise's weight is dangerously low, it should be 271g. Measure and weight him again to be sure. Dan

That's a neat program, Dan! Unfortunately the tort has to be a minimum of 100mm in length and mine isn't (anyway, he's a russian and I know it isn't meant for them, but I was just curious).
