We are looking for young adult or adult leopard. We live in central Virginia. Open to a bonded pair and gender. Would love it if located close enough to drive.

There are both Facebook and MeWe pages dedicated to 'for sale' and 'wanted'. Lately FB has started to enforce their no animal sales rules, so offered animals do not have prices associated with the, but rather just the message 'contact the seller' . Many such pages have migrated to MeWe a similar kind of social media platform as FaceBook, but less restrictive regarding animals sales.

There are "reptile shows" in many places these days, you might see about a local one. That's a good place to see first, then buy.

Craig's list can work, but is a bit of a hit or miss as there are people selling that are without knowledge of the animals, or outright scammers.

There are a few webpages as well, just google 'reptiles for sale'.

Hopefully your post here will work.

Unless you have the room to house them separately do not get a pair. Tortoises do not do good in pairs. One will be bullied to illness or death.
Get one or a Male and 2-3 females or 3 females. Even with those combos they may still need go be separated.

Thank you both. I haven't looked at MeWe, I'll check it out. I am the member of a couple FB groups, I'll continue to keep an eye out. I have read that they're better alone. I only mentioned a pair if someone didn't want to separate. I talked to 1 breeder who mentioned being incubated together, at certain temps, they'd get a long? But I haven't heard that anywhere else.

That is very poor wrong information. A clutch is incubated together all the time. If you want the correct and updated care info please stick to this forum. Even a lot of the FB groups dont have a clue about proper care.
You might also check craigslist. Once in a while there are some on there in desperate need of proper care.

That sounds like someone who wants to sell two instead of one.

I can assure you that I am not suspect. I got online today to find a new home for him. we are moving and the HOA is not going to allow him to stay where we are going so I would rather find him a home.

Wow, thats a pretty strict HOA. What’s their rule/guidance on torts? (HOAs really try to be a bit toooo controlling).

I agree. Usually of the ones I no of, would never live with one, but friends have/do. Anything in your back yard is your business as long as it doesnt show over the fence if there is one. In the house is really none of their business.

I have a bonded pair of males that are around 15 if you are interested and I would be willing to meet halfway.
