I have recently bought a leopard tort called wilson *not sure of sex* whilst having a mosey on the sale site i came across two yr old leopard that sounded basically like the bloke wanted rid.. I paid 70 quid for this leopard with the intention that at least i know its in a good home.. Harlow i have called her.. She is pyramiding as you will see.. I will address this best i can.. I bought her home bathed her so she would drink and she is now eating and drinking plenty.. I swear shes older than two because she is HUGE compared to my 16 month old.. any advice plz.. xxx shes lovely you know :) xx

Ya did good. I don't know anything about leopards, but I have seen worse. They have such beautiful markings, don't they?

She's very pretty. They pyramiding isn't too bad. To me it just looks like she was over fed.

HI, I probably could look this up, but it's easier to ask. What's 70 quid come out to in US dollars(about)?
She is nice looking. Have fun with her!!

Yes, I agree. Harlow is a great name for a blonde "bombshell" tort. ;)

Post photos of her plastron and more of her carapace and EgyptianDan can make an expert guess on her gender and her age. :cool:

Well, I won't guess because I'm not the expert. We have several members who are experts, though, so I'm bumping this post back to page one so you can get a sizable sampling of opnions (not to suggest you aren't correct, SulcataDud3 ;) )!

You did good on the price.

The pyramiding on the larger is not bad (and is not due to over feeding... it was raised in the UK a cool dry climate). The smaller one is spectacular in shape.

Sexing leopards at that size is impossible (unless you use the coin method... flip a coin... heads, male... tails, female)
