They seem to be growing rather smoothly and that is always the goal when bringing up captive tortoises.A smooth shell means a healthy shell and a healthy tortoise.Peach did have me worried there for a minute because her growth spurt was so rapid that her shell began to take on more texture then i would have liked.Now she is slowing down growth wise and her shell is beginning to smooth out like Bowsers.Just goes to show no two tortoises are alike no matter how similar the husbandry you just cant predict it all.
