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 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...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum finally! I am a first time leopard tortoise mom but have had many reptiles and turtles before this! I have had my baby boy Kimchi (just assuming he’s still to young to fully tell) for almost 3 months and I hope that I’m doing everything...
Finally got around to getting my torts a new set up. I wanted something that they had plenty of places for them to explore and hide. My other tortoise got a similar set up in his tank.
Hello, I have two leopard tortoises a little younger than 3 years old. I bought both of them at the same time and was told they were both Babcocki but I’m starting to have some doubts. I believe one of them could possible be a hybrid while the other is definitely a Babcocki. I recently...
Blast seems to be doing well now, he's 370g, getting very big, eating plenty, he's a contented boi, he loves Mazuri, it's his favorite food, he's alot more active, doesn't hide as much, and spends alot more time basking and just generally seems alot happier and healthier
Thanks everyone for your...

Hey all,
Purchased a Leopard from TortoiseTown. I found out the shady rep after the fact. Just came in today.
It's a hatchling but has not eaten. It went into the hide after a 5 minute soak in some warm water and seems to be sleeping. I am not too weirded out by this behaviour as it might just...
As I do every morning I put my 2.5 month old leopard to soak in water just above its head. It likes that and usually just walks around, trying to climb out of the tub. Today I put her in and she was fine, walking around like normal. 15 mins in I felt the water and it felt a little cold so I...
First off, thank you to everyone who posts on here... as a new tort owner this forum has answered a lot of questions and eased a lot of worries :D But this is my first actual post as I need specific advice lol.
Just over a month ago I got my 9 month old Leopard tortoise, Butters, weighing in at...
Time has come to sell my two leopard tortoises. I am selling them because I am attending University in the Fall. They are currently living in my family's large backyard in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
I have had both of them since they were hatchlings, purchased from a private breeder in central...
Me and my brother bought a 6 month old 3 inch leopard tortoise a few days ago from a breeder.
We are committed to looking after him, we have plans for his enclosure for years to come, and we have researched his needs and are following guidance from this forum, but I still find myself worrying...
After months of consideration and a week of setting up the enclosure, my hatchling Leopard Tortoise has finally arrived, and I have given her the name of Miira! (I'm a writer and gave her the name of a character I love, I later learned what the name means in different languages!) She's been so...
