Well I looked back at my gallery, and it looks like I first got my turtle in spring of 2007, so he's over two years old now. I included the original picture of In the Palm of my Hand (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/698241/) so you can see the difference. It's the same hand and turtle, but not the same scale. The original was taken a few months after I had gotten him and you can see (at least in the original) the old scales on top of the new, so he'd already grown by that point.
