Just a few photos i took yesterday while she was plodding round the garden, thought i'd share

Wearing down her nails on the patio.

Thanks for looking!

I know most people aren't mad on the blondies but I love her to bits!

What a pretty tortoise. Refresh my memory...did you raise her from a baby? If so, You've done a wonderful job of raising her smooth.

I was told she was 6-8 months old when i got her but to be honest i think she was more like a year old. She's not perfectly smooth on top but i've heard leopards very often suffer pyramiding. She's certainly smoother than a lot of leo's i've seen, (and i've seen some terrible ones!)

Very good looking Leo! One of mine is about that size, however has much more pyramiding which occurred before I got her. I'd love to see more pictures of Esmerelda!

Simply amazing!!! I hope my Lenne the Leopard grows up looking that great!!! What did you feed when she was younger and what are you feeding now??

Thanks for the great pics, hope there will be more!

I think i can manage that Greg, just need some nice weather so i can take some snaps of her playing out!

Lenne is a little cutie! I can't remember when Essie was that small! I've always fed her the same stuff to be honest, spring greens, mixed grasses, dandelions (leaves, she won't eat the flowers) timothy hay, clover, rose petals and cactus when i can get it.

Beautiful leopard!

I really like these guys, such unique color patterns on their
shells and attitude or should I say personality galore.

You've done a great job raising her.

She so pretty. I can't wait for my two to be that big - how old is she? My one male is a blonde also

I don't think that I've seen a Leopard Tortoise that size and this beautiful before. Wow what a looker.

She's approx 8 years. I like the blondies best think purely for the shell patterns.

She is beautiful! How big is she?

Great pics again, I'm partial to the lighter colors as well.
But really I think all torts are gorgeous in their specific
ways.
