Ooops, my bad

Tonight I picked up my 2 new leopard tortoises. I forgot how small they start out!

I needed more leopards to raise smoothly to be examples for my presentations

Here they are!

Sorry for the "attachment" pics. I am not at the computer and have no clue how to do tiny pic on my phone.

Is it me or is raising a leopard w/ out pyramiding is a lot more challenging than most torts? I see a lot of leopards w/ pyramiding a lot.

ya got me!! ya got me!! and thank you

Jlant85, so far I have only raised one smooth. He is now 15months old and very smooth. I have been using the Hot and Humid method. In a closed chamber while inside and a heavily planted large pen when outside. I like the results and want to do the same with these 2 new ones.
I have 2 more that are a year old and were started dry. We'll see how they develop now that they too are in humid conditions when indoors and have a nice pen while outdoors.

Jlant, I keep high 80-90% humidity when inside.

Mchong, she is going to give me their exact hatch date but they are only about a month old.

They hatched sometime in late May (after May 10th but before June 1.) Sorry I don't have an exact date for you. Glad you like them!!!

 

[Levi the Leopard]

exact doesn't matter I'll say June 1st to keep it easy for records.

Today I'm building their "baby playpen" for outside. I'll share pics when it's done

That didn't take long

Hey it's all for spreading the word on raising them humid, Tom!
I blame you

Certainly does sound like an addict. I recall using that excuse a few times myself.

Hey, there is no evidence to suggest that my obsession is contagious...

 

[Levi the Leopard]

Morning soaks.

I'm very exited to have new babies to raise smooth

Besides, I have a whole yard that will be dedicated to the leopards once they are large enough
