leopard tortoise

Hey guys. I'll be getting a baby leopard tort soon. I've been looking for large indoor storage bins. I finally found some really long and big ones. What do you guys think of using this? it is $175 CAD. I want to start out with a big enclosure so even as a baby it can have lots of enclosure space...

I've done some digging since recently getting my first Sulcata in Malaysia. (Check out my first post) I'm honestly shocked by some of the pictures I've found. I discovered that the most likely source for the sulcatas and many leopards being sold in South East Asia are exported from Egypt or...

Hi all, I am not new to the tortoise world as I owned a sulcata and a redfoot in the past (though not at the same time). I rehomed my sulcata about a year after acquiring it back in 2010 because I was one of those who purchased on a whim without realizing how big it will get. I am from NYC and...

Looking for a hatchling Leopard Tortoise near Los Angeles. Is anyone have babies?

HI, I want to ask. I have a 9cm leopard tortoise. He wont eat any greens (grass, weeds, vegetables). The only thing he'll eat is mazuri pellets or any greens that have been coated with mushed (wet) pellets. I dont want him to be dependent on pellets. Thus, should I just give him greens and...

Hi everyone, This post will be a tad long but please bear with me. So I've had 2 leopards (approximately 8cm) for almost three months. I think their eating habit is a bit weird, namely with the following conditions: 1. They eat roughly the same amount compared to my 6cm sulcata, I assume they...

Hello, I am new to this forum but I had a question I was hoping to get some advice on. I have seen a lot of indoor hatchling/juvenile tortoise enclosures with a ramp leading to a second level. I have a 1 year old leopard tortoise, and her indoor enclosure is a 40 gallon glass tank that I...

hi I a few days ago i acquired two 1.5yrs old leopard tortoise (approx. 8cm). They seem to be very shy. I have to give food right infront of their hide. And they dont seem very interested. They will have a nibble but wont go through to actually eating in (they sort of just putting in the mouth...

Hi, Im a new leopard tortoise keeper. Ive had ample experience with other species but not leopards. I kept on seeing that leopard tortoise cant handle the cold and wet weather. My question is, I live in Jakarta and it has a temperature min of 80f, max of 100f and an all year average of 82f...

Hey! I'm looking to buy a leopard tortoise. If anyone knows of anyone selling please let me know! :)

Hi all, I got a 3 month old Leopard tortoise about a week ago. As an experienced aquarist, I should know better than to get a new animal without first knowing more about its requirements... But there seems to be a lot of false info out there on raising these guys. Anyway since getting him at the...

Hello, I recently purchased a young leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis pardalis). It measures 2.25 inches long and 1.75 inches wide, and it weighs 43 grams. It appears healthy, but I am concerned because I paid a premium price for a one year old tortoise, and I believe I am getting more...
