I was taking a stroll down memory lane tonight. Looking at my leopard's "baby" pictures ;)

I found this picture of him from his first day home with us (less than a month old)

It's so cute and tiny compared to this one taken not too soon before his 1st birthday!

It's amazing watching leopard tortoises grow up. Every time they go through a growth spurt they end up looking like a completely different tortoise.

You have done a great job with him!

He is looking great Heather. His colors are outstanding.


I always think it is nice to be able to see what the babies look like and what they will look like as they grow. The last babies I got I selected based on the looks of their mother/father. Otherwise, especially with a leopard, they can have such a different look as a grown up tortoise. Keep on posting updates.. I think your is going to be a real beauty.

Thank you! I am very pleased with how his coloring is turning out to be. But then again, with a leopard he still has some changing to do!
