TORTOISES AND THEIR SIZES?

Fallen Angel · 30-01-2007, 05:34 PM

In a recent thread i saw an adult redfoot and didnt realise how big they got which in turn has made me wonder can anyone post details of tortoises species and sizes?

I would really like to know whats the largest and how large down to the smallest and how small if that makes sense?

Hope you can help me Nicky xxx
