I received them on 5/28 from a guy in Dallas. I think they're about 6 weeks old.

hi beautiful hatchlings you have there showing a bit more growth than i would expect for 6 weeks i have some at 4 months that arent as big as yours although to be fair she was captive bred the mother and her hatchlings are a little small to start with.its hard to say if you have a true snow leopard there i have a wild caught adult male and he looks nothing like any of my others, also have a juvenile that is lighter than the rest i hatched i suspect he may end up as a snow.anyway congratulations on the lovely hatchlings you have they are great

Thanks! The pics might have deceived you. My leopard babies range from 1.7" to 2.1" in length. Your toroises are great lookin' also. The adult has perfect shell development and the juvy does look like snowy due to the light creamy color shell. I'm not an expert on identifying tortoise types, just based on some pics I saw. Keep our fingers crossed.
