Not much to use as a size comparison..
In your climate it would need a heated enclosure in winter. A heated barn or fix up a room in the house just for it.
Leopards are prone to easily pyramid from what I've read so providing humidity will be important. They eat mostly leafy greens/weeds. Not a fruit eater.
I would consider them on the same "difficulty" level as a sulcata, they just stay smaller.
Give the leopard tort caresheets a read. Do you know how to find them? I can link them if you want.

I can. Thanks for the offer though.

I just saw it and thought I'd ask. I'm really looking for something smaller. But that is the first thing other than sulcata, res, and snapping turtles I've seen around me lol.

In that case I fully recommend deciding on what type of tort/ turtles your mostly interested in and then finding a really good breeder.
Are you wanting a species that hybernates or prefer a non hybernating species?

The problem is the one I really like the best is a species I can not keep here. It's against the law to keep them in my state. A felony offence.

The native eastern box turtle.

The native eastern box turtle.

What about a different type of box then...

I think the Chinese box turtles (c.flavomarginata) are gorgeous. Don't know anything about them other than they are pretty.

I'll take a look. I've also considered redfoots.

I may just stick with the painteds I originally was going to start with lol

I love my redfoots!! They are sweet, pretty and social! Do you live in a humid area? I can’t remember where you are! That’s the hardiest part for me because it’s so dry here.

Just realized the drain pipe under the kitchen sink is leaking..
My husband will be thrilled to have something else to fix..

Does the house belong to you or are you renting?

To be fair, he was the one making a wall fall down

At least the electrics were made safe before the plumbing started leaking.

Good morning all. I had a better night’s sleep last night thank goodness. This morning I need to take son shopping for a suit for his graduation. It’s a challenge when he’s 6’6” (2 metres tall) to find anything that fits, let alone anything that’s affordable

I can just imagine how difficult that must be. Good Luck

Suit purchased remarkably easily in the first shop we tried. We obviously got lucky.

40” chest long jacket and 32” waist extra long trousers ... Seriously who has a 32” waist?!

I wish I had a 32 waist.

I would go visit fist and get only exchange money when I got the tort. Unfortunately I know how CL can be.
