How old are they? How close in age to Millie? Thanks for posting. Beautiful.

Their shells look exactly like sulcatas except for the scute dots. It's funny to looking at their faces...if I look at them one way I see a sulcata. If I look at them another way they look like a leopard. Kinda like my daughter, some people say she looks like me, others say she looks like my wife.

Keep posting the progress of these guys. I'm not a fan of hybridizing, but it's interesting none the less.

Robert , the leppers were born in Dec of last year and Millie the leo about a year+ before that . They are growing much faster than your standard leo hatchlings....and just about caught up to Millie who is much older.

That's exactly why I asked. Wow! These pics also give a good comparison to show just how "round" Millie is.

Neal ... I completely agree. The dots are cool .. and have seemed to remain even up to this point about a year later , and yes the heads are more Leo looking than most sullies along with leg structure, very out going like most sullies ....They do show what I seem to be common of Leo's the slight pyramiding ...even though these two are misted and keep humid several times a day from week 3 . I just find that leos up around 2 years start to show these same kind of featues, although , in the case of the lil snow leo I have , she is extra smooth thus far. They eat like wildfire and have gained alot of weight and size overall in the last 2 months, soon to over pass Millie the leo ~

I didn't remember what part of the country you live in, but thought well, guess anything is posssible, haha

They look great!! I love watching them grow and seeing how they will turn out, so thanks for the updates
It's very interesting that you care for them essentially the same way as Millie, and they are pyramiding a tiny bit...I wonder why!
Love the rhyming names

 

[l0velesly]

They make a wonderful gang!

We Arizonans have a hard time identifying snow...

 

[dmarcus]

They are looking very good so far....

I really enjoy it when you do these updates. These guys are just so fascinating to watch grow up, change, and develop. They just are a bit different enough to catch your eye and your mind. I agree with whomever it was, that said if you look at them from one angle you see sulcata, move just a bit and it's a Leopard look. Thank you so very much for all the pictures you post!
