I have been using the forum for a while and thought I would introduce myself. I live in the UK and have 3 herman tortoises. One is 6 years old the other two are 5. I recently got a 6 month old baby leopard tortoise and asked for advice on here which has been very helpful. Hot and humid! He was very small and under weight when I got him 48 grams. Today he is 90 grams and has lots of new growthImageUploadedByTortForum1375892760.721640.jpg this was him when I first had himImageUploadedByTortForum1375892836.562648.jpg this is him today

Looks like your husbandry is doing wonders for the little guy! He's very handsome. :)

Your leopard is looking great! I'm so glad this info is making it over to the UK! Please share what you have learned with others in the UK and show them lots of pics of your tortoise when they argue with you and tell you you are crazy.

I love the Herman's and intend to start a group of them next year. I'd love to see pics of yours.

Love this! Thanks for sharing.

I recently adopted a small leopard that looks a lot like your first picture.. Using the hot and humid method I notice her new growth is smooth and seeing your updated picture gives me great hope :D
