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...

Hello everyone! I very recently acquired my first ever tortoise! This is NOT my first reptile, but it is my first tortoise and I want to be absolutely sure I am giving him the best care. I decided to start this thread because: There is much less out there on leopard tortoise care than I had...

Hi! I've been wanting to plant grass in my enclosure again for Vic, my baby leopard tortoise. He loved having it in his enclosure before, however, after awhile of having it, there were very small bugs flying around the grass, and also flying around Vic and crawling on him. I took the grass out...

Hi everyone! I noticed these new spot like things on the bottom of my leopard tortoise shell and ay a couple of tiny areas on the top of the shell. I was wondering if this is normal due to shell growth or is it shell rot or some sort of sickness? I use coconut fiber substrate as suggested by a...

Hi, I am raising 1.5 year old leopard tortoise (hatched on November 2018). Since I am living in Illinois, I keep my tortoise in indoor enclosure all the time. Recently, the weather is quite hot, so I sometimes let my tortoise wandering outside. I noticed that my tortoise trying to eat a stone...

New member!! I just got a leopard tortoise and I have been feeding him squash and Zucchini leaves and softened Mazuri pellets. Should I give him more of a variety of food, maybe throw in grasses with the leaves? Also I have found I need to buy a thermostat due to the ambient temperature changing...

Hi, My tortoise hatched on November 2018. So, soon it will be 1 year old. This is my first time to raise tortoise. Just I would like to share the weight of my tortoise for one year. How does it look? Is everything fine? Also, should I concern about any pyramiding? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I have had my little tortoise for over a month and wanted to think if you guys thought he had any signs of pyramiding. I'm pretty sure was he overfed and not kept in the best environment previously. I keep convincing myself that I can see super slight signs of pyramiding, but I may...

Thinking cage size will be 4x2x2, for a baby leopard I am getting in around 8 weeks. For people who have ordered PVC cages, I am wondering what add ons I should order (if any) to come installed in the enclosure. Does it make sense to order the cage to come installed with an Incandescent Light...

Tortoises in Malaysia & Thailand I recently got my first tortoise. But the where I got it, raised a lot of questions about tortoise keeping in my part of the world. I hope this gives you all a glimpse into a different part of the hobby. It's been about two months since I became a tortoise owner...
