LEPRACUTTAS' SPORT'N NEW COLOR

[N2TORTS]

It's ,,,, been awhile and these two are really starting to change color. The smaller one has always been the darker of the two, while the larger one, much lighter and showing some wild marbling. Although the darker one is starting to show white in new growth area as well.
Enjoy~

Interesting thing and case study for me ….These two have been brought up the same . Both kept in 40-60 humidity since day one , outside during the day and misted several times as well. Both seem to be growing very nicely and the smaller of the two , a wee bit more bumpy. Also, as I have watched them grow , I see more leopard “carapace” shape , being high domed and of course the usual leo “ bumpy” . The topic goes round and round in here all the time about pyramiding , and advise from so many people about pyramiding issues , this and that (too much not enough ect) , yet I don’t know anyone who have produced these, or even have seen adults. I still firmly believe genetics , and species type play a major role when it comes to the “pyramid issue” not just diet or temps/humidity. Out of the 1,000’s of Leos I have seen “most” do show more bumpiness in shell structure than any other tortoise ….( Stars will show this same characteristic when maturing too). Nevertheless, both are a pride and joy to own and you can bet I will be able to provide accurate documentation ( not second hand info) as these guys mature.

I think they look good even with the bumps, gives them more character.. I would gladly take one with out hesitation!!!

That's so fascinating! I didn't know you could cross-breed tortoises. My husband is always talking about cross-breeding animals lol
