Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I measured Toku today and figured I would share with you all so you can have a comparison. For those that don't know, Toku is a 3 1/2 years old male, hatched mid October 2009. He measured in at 5 in. 3 cm. So his growth has slowed to almost a halt again. Last year was his growing period with consistent growth, before that he grew very slowly. I figure he isn't gonna get much over 6 in. If he is lucky he might hit 7 in. but I don't think that will happen. His weight is consistent when holding him. I think I might get a gram scale and start to weigh him for comparisons. Maybe when I go to Wally World I will get a scale, thats if I remember to, lol. Anyone else do measurements that would like to share?
