Here is a pic of one of the males from that 2010 SA group that I bought from Tom when he was 3yrs plus and 11" he is now 14.5" and a just a monster; super dark too. Also a pic of him with my adult male Babcocki for contrast.

Wow so beautiful, I really like the dark one for some reason, must be because I really like dark colors

My oldest two males are not from that group but purchased in nov 2012 as hatchlings . Both are on the darker side

They are awesome! Super dark that first one is. Really nice job, do you have any females. I didn't get many at all of the 12 I purchased that year. The females grow slow too, at least for me,compared to the males

I don't have any confirmed females yet. All the potential females are 7" and under and could still turn out male. Thanks

that's quite a contrast between the two. Both beauties!

I feel I was very lucky to have ended up with a male and a female.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm very happy with the two of these leopards . You were very lucky to end up with both males and females. I've purchased 13 SA leopards, and to tell you the truth, I have no clue if I have one female. My smaller SA leopards are my only ones that are possible to be female, but could change to male in short notice like like the rest of my SA leopards did.

Haven't posted in ages but found my way back to the site. Here are few shots of Tico who is from Tom's 2010 batch of GPP's. He has been doing great and loving living outdoors all year long now.

Great pictures, Vinnie. Looks like Tico is male, huh?

I agree that his overall shape looks very male . Beautiful specimen

 

[navyblu]

Looks male to me; He looks great!

What a cool idea for shading the water.

thanks Yvonne, yeah the SoCal sun drys it up so fast and it seems to help out a bit.

All I want for Christmas.........is someone from the 2010 owner group to post updated pics and info of their p.pardalis

 

[Yvonne G]

Well, shoot! They don't call me Santa Claus because of my fat belly and my big red nose. Give me a couple minutes.

The tortoise on the right is a full-sized babcock female, just shown for size comparison. My two 5 year olds are just as smooth as can be. I didn't weigh them, but the tape measure shows them to be appx. 12" SCL. The male is small, don't know why. I raised them exactly the same.

 

[diamondbp]

They look fantastic Yvonne. My wish came true lol. Perhaps your male is just a runt, but I'm sure he will still get the job done. It'll be real exciting to see you produce some babies (hopefully in the near future)

Merry Christmas!

I have three clutches of her eggs in the incubator.
