Tortoise growth rate
I have travelled the web far and wide searching for the answer to my question, and haven't really found any info yet. How long does it take for your average tort to reach its full grown adult size?

Just curious about it....

Don't know how much it varies between species, but Redfoots generally do the bulk of their growth in the first 15-20 years, before the growth rate slopes off.

Your question is a little too broad.

If you are curious about how long a specific species takes to reach adult size, them maybe you could repost with that species.
