Hello,
I recently purchased a young leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis pardalis). It measures 2.25 inches long and 1.75 inches wide, and it weighs 43 grams. It appears healthy, but I am concerned because I paid a premium price for a one year old tortoise, and I believe I am getting more like a six month old hatchling (if its that old!). I am going to take him/her to the vet next week, but I was wondering if anybody has a weight chart for a leopard tort? I can find them for babcocki, but not pardalis.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Lesley
