Today marks...

45g of cuteness.

I'm not sure if she's the cutest leopard to have ever hatched or if she's just really photogenic. LOL

I've moved little Lady October from her starter closed chamber to the next step. A well planted reptile tank that I've closed the mesh top off.







The new thermostat isn't here yet, so I'll have to swap her dome for nighttime.

She took a nap and now she's checking the place out.

OhMyGosh, she's ADORABLE!!!

Look at all that growth so far!! Isn't it amazing how quickly a humid started baby grows!!

P.S. You know I love your habitat decorating skills, right?? I'm all about the set ups that are functional for them and cosmetically appealing to us

Oh and P.S.S.. I had a talk with my husband last night.. should I die early/unexpectedly we had to discuss what would happen to Levi. I told him he's to contact you for first dibbs! LOL... but seriously, that's the game plan- to ask you to take him. And if you don't/can't take him, you're to screen for who can. After all, you know what to look for in a Leopard home better than my non turtle knowledgeable hubby
Just thought I'd share that...FYI... LOL

Thank you Elohi for that wonderful story in pictures, brilliant. Well Done.

I'm at a complete loss for words. You are too kind! I'd be honored.

I've thought about this sort of thing to. I know my kids currently have adorable arguments over who is to inherit Beans, but my other shell babies are just as special and would need good keepers too! And who's to say my kids are into torts or have the space for them when they are grown and doing their own thing?

Have you seen this picture yet?

Big color change. Nice growth. No longer feels fragile. She's incredibly feisty. I know I've mentioned that before but she is strong, active, and seems to have a dominant type personality. She has lunged away and bumped me for trying to pick her up.
I weighed her again today and she was 51g.

This reminds me of my adventure with head starting hatchlings with the big difference being you get to keep yours
But it sure was neat to see them go from yolk sac to feisty babies!

Just last night, we were discussing the concept of, “god-parents" Karen and I weren't raised with that in our families, but our friends were. We couldn't figure out what the difference between the two family's that would bring this about.
Now though, I like the idea of tortoise god-parents. We could start a national registrar.

Maybe I should have named her after a rapid growing weed because she sure grows like one!

she looks so different already! Thick black growth....I love it! That marbling should be showing up anytime now

WOW WOW WOW. She really is a weed!

^^she was 60 grams prior to a really big poop.

Wow!! Love the way these leopards change and grow!!! Beautiful !!!

Such a gorgeous "weed"! Love it!

You could make her thistle.

She is sooooooo pretty!!!

Absolutely stunning!! Just so perfect in every way
