I got a wood turtle back in November. Her shell was about 7cm (2.75in) long then, and she weighed about 65grams (2.3oz). She's gotten goog at eating, and now her shell is 9cm (3.5in) long, and she weighs about 120g (4.2oz). She's about 2.5 years old.

Does anyone have growth charts for wood turtles so I can determine if her current weight is reasonable for her size, and make sure I'm not overfeeding her? She likes to eat cooked poulty meat, lettuce, strawberries, bananas, and dry land turtle food. I do give her vitamins and calcium on meat once or twice a week.
