New Leopard Hatchling

[Greg T]

Here is my first hatchling next to his daddy. It is amazing something so darn tiny can get so big!



Dad checking him out.

I LOOOOVE these pictures!!

So stinkin cute. Even my husband said, "that's the cutest thing I've seen".
Congrats on the babies. What does their future hold? Selling them off or going to keep some??

BTW daddy has a fantastic shell. Well done

OMG I agree, those are wonderful pictures! Dad looks particularly large for a babcocki-- what is his size? (Handsome guy by the way)

Wow, that really shows the size of a adult leopard. Amazing pics. Love the daddy checking out his child pic, way too cute. Nice babe and dad.

I was told the dad is GPP by the breeder I bought him from and the pace he is growing that could be true. Last time I checked a few months ago, he was about 14" and 18 pounds. I need to check them all again because it has been too long.

I plan on selling them because I can't keep all of them. I may have to keep this one though because he has some defects, although I hate saying it that way. His shell isn't rounded out on one side, it is kinda smushed in and I'm not sure it will come back out plus it looks like one of his side/bottom scutes is a little deformed. I know most people want to buy perfect tortoises so this guy may just stay with me. He is really tame and sweet (so far).

Even my fiance cooed, while I squealed and attempted to form complete words. That really does give a great idea of how big they get-- and how gorgeous they are-- AND how smooth their growth can be, in captivity. Really gorgeous.
