Please note: The jackson ratio is not a 100% accurate way of telling whether your tortoises' weights are healthy. However, it is a good 'starting point' if you have a new tortoise. It Only applies to the following species: testudo graeca, testudo hermanni It is not suitable for ANY other species of tortoise
