At what age/size does a horsfield tortoises shell go completely hard

My horsfield tortoises shell is just over 2 inches long and it is still a bit soft at the bottom of the shell. When will it go hard? Also about what age is it?

Your tortoise's shell should be hard by now. Be sure you are providing enough light (UVB) and vitamins and calcium.
