I just picked up my new baby... I was told he/she was 3.5" and 3-4 months old but after picking her up I don't think its right. She is barely 2" and about the size of Tucker when he was 4 weeks old. The guy didn't know anything about how she was raised or anything. Someone gave it to him. He wasn't a tortoise guy so he was selling her.

What do u all think of her? Any guesses on age? ...does she look dry? Pyramiding?

I'll post more pics when I get her settled & after her soak.

This is a really small Leopard. A month old maybe right as you suspected. It may take a year to be 3.5 inches.

Well she loved her soak & drank, she had dinner, and is now napping under a bush in her enclosure. :) I have not weighed her yet cause my scale batteries are down but picking up a batttery tonight. She still has her egg tooth. When do those fall off? I think she was hatched right around the first of April. I don't have a name for her yet...any suggestions?

Nice looking little one. Between the egg tooth and the egg sac scar, this guy is only a few weeks old, maybe 4 weeks. Good looking little guy. Good thing is he is so young that you can raise him correctly now, and he can enjoy the friendship of your other little ones!

Tucker & new baby having first breakfast together! :)She is more curious than Tucker. I love the difference in personalities :) I weighed them tonight; Tucker is 7.5 months old, 3.5", & 161g. My baby is 1 month old, 1.75", & 28g. Does their weights sound OK for their ages?
