Edna
My 10 year old female horsfield Edna weighs 1000 grams ! She has steadily gained this since coming into my care.
I stopped weighing my torts weekly as I felt I was worrying too much about weight gain. I weigh them now month to two monthly. I have looked on the McIntyre graph and am unsure of its correctness. What do you guys think? |

Are you sure shes 10? I was told my 1000g Horsfield was 7 when I took her on, more likely wild caught and who knows 20 years+ maybe?

just the measurement of her along the bottom. I usually put mine up against the wall on the kitchen work top then mark with a pencil

Sound about a good healthy weight.
When you measure SCL you want to measure the full streight line distance of the upper shell so she is probably longer than 16cm. Quote:
