A few years back I rehomed my leopard tortoise for fear of being unable to give it proper care at my young and and limited salary. I know guru was sent closer to the middle of the country. A military guy with a bunch sons and like 4/6 tortoises.
Anyways if you know him or if you can read it I’d...
Hi! I just wanted to share my baby leopard tortoise and see if by general view he appears healthy and on the right track. His name is Taro.
I’m a very nervous first-time owner, and I have done back-to-back research, gentle handling, do’s and dont’s, and care instructions for him.
Do let me know...

He is about 7 months old and he started to develop these lines about a month and a half ago. I see online that it’s just growth lines but I feel like they’re so big.
I got a leopard tortoise for about a month. It is 3 months old. For the last week, it has refused to eat any pellets and only ate the veggies. It stopped eating the vegetables for the last 2 days as well. It’s poop has also been very runny and loose.
Its main diet is mazuri, mulberry leaves, and...
Hi everyone I wanted to start this post with some bad news. Some of you may remember I made a post early May about my leopard tortoise Kimchi being too small for his age and I continued to do everything I could for him. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough he just couldn’t push past 50 grams and...
Hi I have 2 leopard tortoises they are both 6-7 years old my female is about 20lbs and my males is about 9lbs. They have been mating like crazy, sometimes I have to separate them. Are they old enough/ big enough to lay fertile eggs? Last year she laid 2 but crushed them both.
And if they are...
Hi I got my leopard tortoise from a breeder at Repticon January 21st of this year and his first documented weight was 43 grams it’s now a little over three months later and he’s only about 2.25 inches long and he kind of fluctuates between 46 and 50 grams. I was not told a hatch date so I’m...

He's my first tortoise and is a few months over 1 year old. I went a bit too long letting him live in his hatchling terrarium that was too small (I've recently rehoused him into an awesome gigantic diy enclosure I'm really happy with) and since it's got colder and I couldn't take him out to...
Our beloved Leopard tortoise hasn’t put on any weight in a good while. He eats a good, full diet of dandelion and other suitable wild leaves with a calcium top up yet has not surpassed 70g and is almost 6 months old. He looks healthy and vibrant.
Does anyone have any experience/suggestions...
