Big Grin  Hello from Upstate NY

Hi, my name is Char, I'm new to this site and a proud new owner of a baby Leopard Tortoise. Of course we can't tell the sex yet, but my Daughter has named her Tallulah Tipsy, so we hope she is a girl. Well, I'm going to include some pictures of my new baby.

RE: Hello from Upstate NY

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I have a quick question about humidity, I have read very differing opinion and fact about the amount of humidity a Leo should have. I live in a temperate climate and have to keep her inside most of the time, I was just wondering what is a good limit for humidity? I read that humidity may have a great effect on the pyramiding in desert tortoises. Also should I have Humid-hide? Sorry about the questions, just want to do whats best for Tallulah. Thanks.

RE: Hello from Upstate NY

I don't know much about Leos but in reading I have done they do not do well with a lot of humidity. I use humid hides for my sulcatas and russians and they do well with those. What do you use for her enclosure? Here is a link I have found about Leos. Hope it helps, plus Leo owners will be able to tell you..http://www.wnyherp.org/care-sheets/turtles/leopard-tortoise.php or http://www.tortoisetrust.org/care/cpardalis.html or http://www.chelonia.org/articles/Mistypardaliscare.htm
