As I understand it things the South African leopard tortes are less shy, have a little more outgoing personalities. They are a bit bigger.
I have been reading like crazy. Some of the old threads and came across a few that mentions territorial differences in the South African Leopards compared to the regular leopards.
Such as males being aggressive when one enters their pen. Nipping/biting/chasing you down kind of thing.
Females not having that same issue.
Now these were pretty old threads and I wanted to see if some of the long time tortoise owners feel this to be accurate.
If this something I should be aware of that may very well happen or is this pretty rare? I want to make the right choice as I do have young kids that will be interacting with the tortoise.
