Free 4 year old male leopard tortoise. Northern Virginia

Northern Virginia Must give up 3yo male leopard tortoise. Free to good home.

I released him close to where I was told he was found, which was pretty close to the vet clinic I work at.

Great. Thanks everyone. I will pass this on and let them know they just need to let it go.

His shell also isn't nearly as highly domed as I'm used to seeing in box turtles.

I'm in northern Virginia. Box turtles are native here, but he doesn't have a hinged shell like I'm used to seeing in box turtles.

Does anyone know what kind of tortoise this is? opt_IMG_20141001_122129_780.jpg http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/537/5xXWoM.jpg

Does anyone know what kind of tortoise this is? It was found in Virginia.

He is pyramiding along the top which is the part closest to the mvb and the che.

Lol. Me too!

Thank yoy

He was so small when he arrived, but now is the size of a large box turtle!

This is Tommy. I purchased and received him September 18 if 2013.

Why is it on pine shavings? I see pyramiding which mean he needs a much more humid environment.

I had Tommy outside and this was the first time I ever saw him actually eat anything. He also seems to like to try to eat sticks.

The only thing I've had trouble with mine eating is a small spiky kind of sedum and aloe.

AMEN!

For my guy, I use a Gladware container for his hide. I cut a hole in the side so he can get in with the bottom of the hole about a half inch or so above the bottom of the container, filled it with some coir and sphagnum moss and soaked it, and I buried to the surface of the doorway. That way I...

I first noticed it when he became picky and didn't want to eat the spring mix and greens I was giving him. I had kind of buried his humid hide so it was more like a burrow. I saw him one day on top of the hide trying to eat the coir.

Has anyone notice their young leos eating ground coco coir? I've also included a couple of pics of Tommy in his new enclosure.
