    Byron, your raised-bed gardens are as impressive as your herd. Well done.

    Leonard

    "My, what a long tail you have", said Little Yvonne Riding Hood. "The better to confuse you with", said Leonard, the abberant-scute, incubated-for-female leopard tortoise.:)

    Getting back into Redfoot keeping

    I think I understand. I still have the little Cherryhead you gave me a few years ago, I find it to be a great little creature. It's grown well, but is still too small for me to sex definitively yet, at 6". I couldn't bring myself to let it go when I moved my female redfoots last month. It has...

    Getting back into Redfoot keeping

    Ed, I'm sorry to read of your change of plans, but so life goes. We try to set our direction, but life steers the course. I wish I had known of your intentions as I just rehomed my two nice females last month in order to focus on my leopards a little more. I would have been pleased to pass...

    Growing beautifully before my eyes.

    Gorgeous tort, and busting with new growth. Exciting times! Thank you for your service in our Army.

    Can leopards eat Cilantro?

    Mine pick around it when offered. Sneaky!

    Adult Leopard is Sick

    Sorry for the loss of your friend, Greg. Don't beat yourself up. Some things are out of our control. Most, in fact... Be well.

    Gaia's Winter Surprise

    Great looking gal there. Looks like she has a couple of zig-zag, or mis-scutes on her back end? Just adds to her charm.

    The Feral Kid

    I got a kick out of this story, and the pic of your yard. It seems torts n' trees isn't as unique as I may have thought...:rolleyes:

    This can't be happening (again)?! Warning:tortoise bits

    I was told that there was, in fact, a larger, dominant male in the group this one came from.

    This can't be happening (again)?! Warning:tortoise bits

    Despite the pic of some doodads sticking out? @Yvonne said it's "definitely a penis". @wellington, yes, a leopard. And heavily pyramided, so definitely a dryer start. On a similar note, what is the recourse when a purchased animal turns out to be the wrong gender? I did not set any...

    Here you go Neal. I'm somewhat enjoying trying to turn this guy into a girl. Do any of these help?

    This can't be happening (again)?! Warning:tortoise bits

    Thanks Neal, have a look at what I just responded to Byron, if you would, and maybe a second look at the "flash" pic. I agree with you wholeheartedly, I bought this tort for that exact reason.

    This can't be happening (again)?! Warning:tortoise bits

    I thought the same Byron, but what I'm seeing there looks anatomically like a male, albeit, much smaller.

    This can't be happening (again)?! Warning:tortoise bits

    To add to the story, this tort is a recent acquisition, that after quarantine, was placed in my yard with my 15 y/o female and 3 y/o (hopefully) female. They have all been together about two weeks now. It has shown zero interest in the smaller tort. I have seen some following and nudging by...

    NOOOOoooooooooooooooo! Yeah, I knew it...:rolleyes: Thanks Yvonne.

    Can my SA leopard eat this??

    I can't find it under any of the above names on The Tortoise Table app, but I know it as dollar weed. It grows in some of the wetter places in my yard, and my torts have been eating it for years. In fact, I can barely find any at the moment because they get to it early. Just my experience...

    This can't be happening (again)?! Warning:tortoise bits

    Ugh. Looks like my flat-plastroned, tiny-tailed female (10 1/2", 4 y/o) just showed me a bit of her man junk the other day. I've read threads where it is suggested that females also flash, but I find no pictures of such. Any chance this isn't exactly what I think it it is? I'm really hoping some...

    Male leopracata for a female leo

    Best of luck getting your tort back. Post signs, contact your local herp dealers and specialty vets. Also try neighborhood social media sites.

    Are you saying that Karoo and Addo are 1 yr 8 mo old?? You must live near a power plant! Heavy, excellent growth. Addo is a confusing one, but I'm going with female. The tail looks like it's heading male, but could still go the other way. Her shell, though, is very round and heavy in the...
