Today is my leopard tortoise's 10month hatch day. (estimated) On the first of every month he gets soaked, weighed, measured, photographed, then fed :)

Today at 10months he is exactly 4" scl and exactly 200 grams! I was very happy :) He is growing well and is still smooth. I am very proud of him.

For anyone interested in how I raised my leopard (or for those who dont know) I use the hot and humid conditions described in The End of Pyramiding II thread from this forum.

Thanks for looking :)

He is very nice looking. Do you only soak him on the first of the month. Or is that just one of the days you make sure he is soaked, weighed etc?

thanks for catching that ;)

he is soaked daily and multiple times on the hot summer days, but on the first of the month he gets soaked (so he poops) prior to his weigh in.
