Default Indian Star approx age?

i got myself an Indian star hatchling a couple of weeks ago and was told when i got it that it was 12 weeks old, upon getting it home i have begun to question its age as Jess's 1 month old horsfield is actually bigger and heavier.

if the 12 weeks is correct then the Indian star is now 14 weeks old has a shell length of just over 1.5 inches and weighs 29g a 5g improvement than the day i got it

can someone tell me if they feel 14 weeks is right for these measurements

Jim
