If I get a new Turtle, how can i tell how old it is if it\'s already grown? Can anyone help me with this?

U cant really tell how old ur turtle is. U could estimate by the size though, but sometimes turtle\'s size could be stunted because they were not properly taken care of. It really is hard to tell a turtles age.

you cant tell the age of a turtle unless you know wen it was born and did the math.otherwise you can pretty much see if its a baby or matured by size but thats it.
