This is my second to smallest leopard tortoise, my smallest being 60 grams. All of these except the two smallest were bought at the NARBC in Arlington, Tx Feb 12, 2012. It first weighed in at 160 grams, now it is six and a half inches or so.

I am pretty sure this one is male, he measures right under nine inches but has never shown his manhood.

Next up are my sulcatas.
This one first weighed in at 45 grams. Really goes to show how much quicker sulcatas grow.

Sex? I am guessing female. Measures seven inches.

Now this is one of the fastest growing sulcatas I have ever read of. Originally bought weighing 60 grams. She measures almost ten inches and weighs right under four pounds and is only fourteen months old!

I am pretty sure it is a she.

These are my two newest tortoises that I acquired in a trade.
Small redfoot that weighs 70 grams.

Small leopard that weighs 60 grams, lots of extra scutes. It has some slight pyramiding, nothing that proper hydration shouldn't take care of though.

How old is your oldred leopard?

Both of the older leopards were sold to me as being six months old. So that would put them at a year and a half now, that is if the person wasn't lying.

Gorgeous tortoise! I wish mine were that smooth.They had pretty severe pyramiding when I first bought them. I have no idea why, or how, they are growing so fast.
