Hi guys! New to the world of tortoises and are looking to adopt a pair!
I seem to think these are severely pyramided, yet the owner said they are 'rare thigh spurred' which is have no idea what it means. I think these are leopards, but severely pyramided.
Can someone help me out in distinguish this!

And also, if we was to adopt these, what health risks would they be carrying is they are pyramidded as google has given me no answers!

thanks in advance :D

Those are beautiful leopard tortoises. Go for it! The pyramiding isn't too bad at all, and anyway, its only cosmetic. There's not health risk involved.

Lovely leopards!!! The lifter one is amazing. I just adopted my first leopard and I adore her!! She has about the same amount of pyramiding too. Go for it!
