A Burmese tortoise generally reaches a body length of 20 cm at about 5 years of age. Adults usually exceed 20 cm, and the tortoise typically becomes adult around 5 years, so it reaches 20 cm then.
The maximum length is about 40 cm, and some adults keep growing past 20 cm over time; females are usually a bit longer than males.
