Default reds

hi is there anywhere I can find a ratio graph for red foot torts as I am thinking of getting 1 or 2 next year and I want to see what the average growth rate is. It'll help me decide whether to get 1 or 2. was gunna get indian stars but reds are easyer to feed.

By the age of 10, they should be about fully grown i think. That is if they have been grown correctly
