Introducing my two little leo's

[EchoTheLeoTort]

I haven't had a tortoise for a long while, and recently my girlfriend mentioned getting one for my birthday, and needless to say I got one for my birthday, after talking more with her and showing her pictures, she was dying to have one, so as a surprise I purchased another which she has no clue is going to be coming with mine. We were talking about another, and decided on names already, (but I told her I didn't want a second one... whoops) mine will be little Cashew (Kash for short) And hers is Pistachio (Stache for short) Here's picks. They will be in their new home with us next Friday I'm in the middle of putting together a closed chamber for them with lots of hiding places, and two food dishes just in case there is any bullying. Yes I am aware to watch for bullying, and I definitely will be. I have another cage that will be set up in need of separating. Thanks for looking at my two new guys/gals Both are believed to be hybrid babcocki/pardallis as the father was pure babcocki and mother was pardallis. I see a little pardallis in Cashew

Cuties! Why not just get a third to help with the bullying? Yours, mine, and ours, lol. You know what they say about torts and potato chips...

Haha, I'm such an enabler...

Congrats!

I'd say keep them separate from the start. I have seen such differences in their behaviors (even with hatchlings) when kept alone vs. a pair vs. a group. So separate or add

Where are the babies coming from?

Both are from a clutch from Adam at TortsRUs

Keep your eye open for a reptile show and when one is near you, go get a third one! You will not regret it. This way you can have a nonrelated baby and if you are lucky they will all be girls or all be boys or the one unrelated will be the boy with two girls!

Don't know where in SD you are, but there is usually one in the twin cities each year.

Really? Never knew that. Twin cities are about 4 hours from where i am. Sioux Falls, in the south eastern portion of the state.

My brother in law goes to Augustana. I know there was one last August or September.

Wow, gorgeous babies! They are so pretty! A third will even everything out, and help with (future?) bullying.
