Neal said:Here's a thread I did on the subject. A Stigmochelys Pardalis babcocki is a leopard tortoise, believed to be from East Africa. Stigmochelys Pardalis Pardalis (Also leopard tortoise) are the type that typically grow bigger and are from South Africa.

DesertGrandma said:In addition to what Neal's thread says, I have also heard that there is a difference in the shape of their heads. Has anyone observed this? And, if so, how is the head shape different?

DesertGrandma said:It's hard for me to tell much difference in the hybrid. A bit less domed maybe?? His coloring really doesn't look much different does it, or maybe a little less white. What do you think? How does his skin color compare?

Could be I was just looking at my records mine was hatched May 14 the hybrid was the 13 how much does yours weigh ?DesertGrandma said:Corey the one on the right looks just like my Humphrey (not a hybrid, he is also from Paul and was from his Haiku tortoise). I think yours and mine are related, maybe from the same clutch hatched in April 2011.
