Chelonoidis carbonaria   (Spix, 1824)
 

Numbers kept: 0,0,3


In May 1999 I purchased 3 hatchlings from a breeder in Calgary. They were between 3 to 6 weeks old at that time and weighed from 40 g to 48 g while being from 47mm to 52mm long (measured along plastron midline).

You will find diagrams depicting their growth here: Length diagram, weight diagram.
