Hello tortoise lovers. This is my first post about my 3 years old leopard tortoise, Strong. My husband has already posted her basic information on another thread: https://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/help-my-3yr-old-leopard-tortoise-lost-appetite.197149/ We took her to a vet immediately when...

I have 2 leopard tortoises and I feel they are big enough to keep outdoors now so I made this “tortoise table” habitat for them and I was looking for some more advice. I live in Orange County Southern California so temperature ranges from 70s-90s in spring and high 70s to 90s most of summer. I...

Hello everyone! I am the new owner of a 2.5 inch Leopard Tortoise, his name is Tank. This tortoise was given to me by a friend but I have some concerns about his shell. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. His shell has a fair amount of white outlines toward the top and I...

Hello everyone, I am writing this post as I have recently rescued a snow leopard tortoise, I had noticed a guy had one up for sale on kijiji and the condition of him looked horrible so I picked him up the same day and immediately took him to the vet. I named him Jambo. Jambo is two years old...

Hi! I am new here, taking care of two Leopard Tortoises. Not too sure how old they are; one is 148g and the smaller one is 109g. Picking up between 5 and 7g a month. I am reasonably educated in their care. They are healthy and seem content in my garden. However l noticed one eating a flower...

There is moss growing in my garden, and I sometimes let my leopard tortoise roam around there to bask under the sun and eat some weeds. And every time when it sees moss, it would nibble on them. When I see this, I always pick it up and put him/her somewhere else because I'm scared the moss might...

It is with a heavy heart I have to put my Leopard Tortoise colony up for sale. I used to be very active on this forum but life got very busy. My dog needs surgery and my house need repairs and although I love my tortoises dearly I need to sell them and hope they find a home that will have more...

I am genuinely asking… please keep unrelated comments about what you think I am doing wrong to yourself. I am not an expert but I do really try my absolute best to take care of my girl :) My female leopard tortoise is 2 years and 7 months old. She weighs 1,605 grams and is 8 inches long. This...

Hi I'm pretty new to the form mainly because I got my first tortoise about a week ago and I live in a colder climate with my new baby leopard tortoise Zarha meaning she has to stay inside all the time and she's only 32grams so pretty small I was just wondering what kind of plants I could put in...

Today, my leopard tortoise had a strange sign. There's a red and purple spot on his plastron. Any one have an idea what's going on? My leopard size 6.5 cm Plastron still hard.

pictures and details on the comments on Reddit! short version he has grown from 44 grams - 250 grams in 6 months and I’ve never heard or seen anyone else with a story like that ?

7 year old proven adult 13”-14” female Leopard Tortoise Pardalis Babcocki (possibly gravid) I personally raised her from a hatchling in an enclosed chamber to produce a smoother shell than most captive raised Leopard Tortoises. She was raised in a high humidity enclosure and was being fed on a...

Hi, new here. Thank you everyone for your wonderful threads! I have been reading many of them and they were extremely helpful, so I thought I might get some personalized advice on helping my tort be happier. Some general information: My leopard tortoise Oi is thought to be around 1.5y-o...

I posted on here a while back about little Blast and got some advice on raising him, which I have followed and generally he's doing a lot better, he's gained weight and has a monsterous appetite. His plastron also feels pretty solid at this point. However I'm concerned about the colour...

It seems like everytime I add substrate and move around my leopard tortoises enclosure (his hides, food and water dishes, decorations) he goes around the enclosure for a couple hours and is very active. To me it seems like he's just exploring, but I also wonder if maybe he's stressed out?

I've read that grass should be a big part of leopard tortoise diet. However, he/she refuses to eat them. I also give him/her some lettuce. Once, I gave some kale and carrots too for a few days. And everyday, I mix the grass with the lettuce (and other vegetables, depends on what vegetables are...
