Leopard Tortoise: The Natural History, Captive Care, and Breeding of 'Stigmochel But I don’t want to pay $[emoji848]100.00 + For it. Anyone interested in selling one?

On 6/1 one of my female Russian’s laid 2 eggs. All went well. I put her in her outside enclosure the next day and she starts digging again? She finishes digging then covers up the nest, no more eggs. Tonight I go to check on everyone and on top is 1 Huge egg! I do have another female in there...

Ester was purchased in October of 2013 as a Hatchling, not by me but her previous owner. She is 6 3/4 inches long 4 1/2 inches wide. She weighs 812 grams. She is small for 4 1/2 years old. I say she but really too small to tell right now she has a female tail. She has gained weight last year...

I keep saying “no more” and then I see another one and say” what’s one more” 7 female Russians 3 male Russians 4 female Leopards 1 male Leopard 1 male Greek Oh and 4 Russian Hatchlings ( they will be rehomed)

I did decide to get her. The woman is giving her to me. I can provide her with a yard in late spring and summer. ( she's never been able to be outside to graze) and I have a free roaming tortoise room for nights and winters. Until we relocate down south.

I have been offered this female leopard Tortoise. Approximately 8-10 years old. She had what I consider severe pyramiding. The current owner bought her at a garage sale 8 years ago. Crazy right? I want to take her and will quarantine her for 6 months followed by a vet visit. Any other major...

Can I ask did they chalk pretty quick like a week or so after they were laid? I have my first 2 clutches of leopard eggs and not sure if progression is the same time frame as Russian eggs.

I have successfully hatched Russian Tortoises for the past 4 years. About a month ago I got my first clutch of Leopard eggs. I understand that the incubation is 4 1/2 months opposed to the Russian's 2-3 months. Along with higher humidity. Is the time frame the same as far as the progression of...
