You reckon he could be trained to read an iguana care sheet as well?

Its more to do with size rather than age, if you grow a tortoise too fast they can get big (which damages there insides).

I would say 10 years old for a female, males mature much faster.

He's headbutting your female to try breed with it... your female is still a babby.

Give her at LEAST another seven years LOL!
