    Poor little thing got missed.

    https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/leopard-tortoise-care-sheet.63792/ If you scroll down a little, there's a section where food and hydration are discussed. You might consider reading that, since without those two key components, it probably took several weeks or more for it to starve to death. RIP

    2016 sulcatas - het for ivory

    They are a couple weeks old now and doing really well. They are being raised in a humid environment with soaks twice daily which is evident by their super-smooth growth. They are fed a nutrient-rich diet consisting of Mazuri and chopped greens which are dusted with calcium supplement, as...

    Back With A Question About Leopards

    Of all of my torts, the ones that have the most issues going back in are one of my male stars, a female leopard and occasionally a male leopard. The female leopard that refuses is kind of unusual in that she is very tolerant of cold weather. She will cruise around and graze when the weather...

    Are these PB S. African Leopards?

    So, Maggie and Molly, who were raised by Tom, are the two Gpp referenced in post #4? Then in post #5 Tom said that they were not pure. What's the deal, Tom?

    Lovely Lil Leo ...

    Do you have any pics of the parents? I haven't seen any pics of the F2 offspring either. Do you happen to have any? I haven't seen any current pics of the "sunset hypos" but I would certainly be interested in seeing more. Seems like a waste to have just one het with so much potential value. I...

    IVORY SULCATA THREAD: Aladar's Babies! (ULTRA PHOTO HEAVY)

    They are looking great, Dean. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you are making me extremely anxious to acquire an ivory sulcata. I've got a yellowfoot that developed the "U" shape right from birth. It's interesting how some do that and then how some wait forever to give you even...

    Love is in the air...

    Here's a little size comparison so you can see just big this girl is. I took this pic after running the sprinkler yesterday afternoon as it tends to get him a little excited...

    All Out Fire Ant Assault

    Here in San Antonio, they are a real problem. I find them in my pens all the time but rarely do I find a mound. If I do, I isolate it with some sort of partition (wooden or wire mesh) and treat it. Once it's dead I use a shovel to remove the contaminated soil and replace with fresh soil...

    Love is in the air...

    Looking back at that pic, I can see how it looks. It was an odd angle and it does look a little funny.

    Love is in the air...

    It's not that he's small, it's just that she is really large. 10"+. I need to double check but I believe he's 5.5-6".

    Love is in the air...

    I had to zoom in quite a bit to take the shot but here is a shot of my Indian stars doing their thing. The lone female taking a break afterwards. It's pretty warm down here in S. Texas this time of year so they frequently gather 'round the waterin' hole for a drink throughout the day...
