How long have you hd her. She looks great to me but I am not the expert.

I think she's beautiful! Coloring looks good.

Size vs. Age is a different story. Size will vary based on conditions that your turtle has been raised in, genetics, etc. She doesn't look overweight, and it is good that she can pull all of her limbs in. I'm not a good judge of underweight though. How long is her shell length, and how much does she weigh?

From the pics, it looks like she'll be shedding before long. Nice looking turtle. :)
