8 months and still an inch?
well u can use gravel if it\'s bigger than ur baby\'s head so it won\'t try to eat it..
am not sure of the galapagos but if it has what a turtle needs then ok why not:)

Just keep in mind that galapagos are land turtles and RES are water turtles, they need to be in water to eat, drink, poop, and swim. Very Happy

Remember those pictures I posted of the two giant turtles mating, the one where the male was way bigger than the female, well, those are galapagos tortoises:D
