Outgrew this too, so I'll use the big side of the sink.

Nice. I go through a similar process each time I raise a baby. I have sooooooo many old tubs laying around...

Such a cute little tort! I'm a big redfoot fan myself, but @LemmyBites (my SO) mentioned yesterday that she thinks Leopards are the cutest... So now I'm wondering if I can convince her we need two torts! Maybe the challenge of a completely different set of needs will sell her? (Unlikely, but I can dream, right?)

What a cute tort! Wow, leopard tortoises sure do grow big! Right now I have 2 [baby] box turtles.
Box turtles don't grow too big... Thanks for sharing, made my day! :D

Perfect collection of photos. A gorgeous Tortoise. The change in pattern from 2nd to 3rd photo is unbelievable. Thanks for sharing.

These pics right in a row like this really show how much color changes he went through. Wow. So much light/white at a couple points, then so much black at others. Pretty cool.
Gotta know, who didn't like the black, you or Levi?

I have a 3-4 year old leopard (estimated guess) about 10.5" long and he has his own room!
They can grow up to about 2' in length I believe.
I think I am eventually going to have to move to somewhere with a much bigger garden!
The lengths we go to for our torts!!:rolleyes:

Levi didn't care about the black tub, I did! Haha. He looked so much better in white :rolleyes: :p

Levi hatched in the beginning of April 2012. He was 8"by his 2nd birthday.

Right now he's 3 1/2 years old, +11" and shy of 7lbs. A little underweight right now, working on that...

He was raised in a hot and humid closed chamber. Produces mighty fine results if I might say so myself!
Thanks everyone ;)

Levi is a *gorgeous* tort! You should be so proud for raising such a smooth leo. He really is stunning.

(I also love his birthday picture, haha!)
