question about my leopards

[jaden21]

I've noticed the female has grown faster than the male could it be cuz I am housing them in the same home he its like a wild man. Bust is significantly smaller than the female. Is this normal?

size difference

My female is significantly bigger than my male is that normal they are about two years old.

There is some sexual dimorphism between certain localities. About what size are yours? are they from the same parents? are they from the same clutch?

...and, the bigger one might be keeping the smaller one from eating. When they get territorial, the more submissive tortoise has no place to go to get out of the dominant tortoise's territory.

Could be a dominance thing, could be a behavioral thing, could be a problem from when they first hatched...

How do you know the sexes at that age/size?

Different parents. Should I seperate them? The lil one eats like a lil. Piggy. So I know he is getting food. The breeder I got them from said one was female and the other male. I would assume from all I have read that the female has a higher shell so she can carry eggs. Hence why I think she the bigger one is female. I am not sure of the sizes I am not at home where their journal is.
