If you go to BROWSE - SPECIES SPECIFIC - AFRICAN TORTOISES - LEOPARD TORTOISES, you'll find care sheets there. Lots of people here own Leopards and will be glad to give you some guidance.

What a cool tort to inherent

Where in the world are you? At that size, I'd provide a nice large outdoor yard area with a properly heated house for nights.
The details for your ideal set up would vary slightly depending on your climate.

Welcome to TFO!
