Hello all! I’m looking to adopt a Sulcata or Leopard tortoise into our family. I’m located in Ohio and am more than happy to travel. I work from home and have the land, facilities and time to give them the perfect life.

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...

Hi, I have a 9cm (3.5 inches) leopard that weighs 150g (5.5 ounces). Is this normal? Thanks

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...

Hey y'all. Looking for tortoises to adopt. Must be friendly. I have a huge fenced in back yard and heated homes for the summer months, and I have a tortoise room for the cooler months. These tortoises will be spoiled!!! I'm looking more for leopards or smaller, but looking to adopt many.
