Hello I’m new here, excited to get lots of reading in.
I have rescued two gorgeous leopard tortoises but they look completely different.
I was wondering if anyone could identify them. I have read that there are sub species and even hybrid?
I’ve split them up since realizing they are opposite sexes but have had two clutches of eggs and have no idea what I’m doing, it’s always been a dream of mine to hatch tortoises since I was a little girl and so I was delighted but have no idea if they will be fertile. I’ve got them in a plastic box with holes in and vermiculite and then inside a polystyrene box sat on a beat mat with a digital thermometer it’s at 31c day time and 27c at night. Can anyone help? I’ll attach pics of my happy torts.
