size and age of my turtle

Question
I want to ask a question about size of my turtle. she is 3.5 inch (9 cm) in shell length and .26 pound (120 gr.) in weight. she has been together with us for 3 months and grows so rapidly. I'm afraid she may be overweight. and how old may she be? thank you very much..

Answer
The turtle was probably born about September-ish based on odds. you really cannot tell for sure unless you saw it hatch.

Rapid growth is common for young Red-ears, they try to hit full size pretty quickly- although they are also very easy to overfeed.
