She will go nicely with that male of yours.

 

[tortadise]

Im sure your male is ready to meet her too! My male leopards go crazy over the girls. He should be in heaven.

 

[Julius25]

Yes he must be happy to have a female and i wish one day i have eggs

 

[Melly-n-shorty]

oh she is stunning! she looks like she is a big girl, how old is she? you have a smaller female also right? I think you just posted a pic of Violette in my leopard thread so now you are going to have one awesome male and two very pretty females!?!? I am excited for you!!!

She looks great! How much do adult leopards cost in Europe?

 

[Julius25]

Thanks everybody
To Melly-n-shorty : Yes i will have 1 male and 2 female. She is like my male about 12 years old.
To Eweezyfosheezy : My male cost 475€ and my future female 350€ ( i let you convert )

Wow thats cheap!! I thought they would be more expensive over there. Are there a lot available or is there just not much of a market for them there?

 

[TortieLuver]

Very nice

There are not so many Pardalis as in US.
A lot of people who have tortoise in france have what we call "garden tortoise" (hermann, marginata, boettgeri, greaca, ...)
There are not very much exotic tortoise fan in France so not a lot a torts available.
But i you make good search (as i made ) and if you make some kilometers you can find nice and healthy animals.

Are the pardalis expensive in the US ?
Example for a baby, how much ?
for an adult like my future female ?

As babies they are one of the cheaper tortoises but its not a big difference between them and several others. Adults are more expensive than a lot of other species (Ibera Greeks and Eastern Hermanns for example) because of how many eggs they can produce.
Babies are typically $100.00
Females are typically $1,000.00 but it depends on size. How big is yours?

My future female is 32cm and 4.5 kilos
