General Care Discussion :: Growing rates?

[4Lancer4]

Im wondering if anyone has a growth chart or whatever so i can compare my turtle. My turtle is 6 months old and is about 2 or 3 inches. Normal or not?

That sounds pretty good. They're supposed to be at three or four inches at a year, so you turtle seems to be on the right track.

The six months is how long you've had your turtle or the time from when your turtle hatched? To me, there's a fair difference between 2 and 3 inches at that age. If you measure the shell length (from the scute behind the neck down the back to the ones above the tail and don't count the curve), you should know more precisely how big your turtle is.

How much has your turtle grown since you got him? What do you feed him?
