Hey everyone, my leopard hatchling Bacardi is 6 months old this week When I first brought him home on May 2, he was 11 weeks old 2" long and weighed 41 grams.
Today, after being home for ~3 1/2 months he is now roughly 3.5" long and weighs 140 grams!
I've been raising him in a 2'x4' closed chamber, feeding him twice a day with daily 30 min soaks. I'm still new to tortoise keeping and wanted to get the opinions of all you TFO experts . How does the little guy look? how about the growth rate: slow, fast, average? I'd love to hear your feed back so I can raise him up strong for many years to come! Hopefully, like his name sake he'll only improve with age lol.
All the best, TK.
P.S. I know you all love your tortoise butts, so here's one more for the road.
