Hello, I have two leopard tortoises a little younger than 3 years old. I bought both of them at the same time and was told they were both Babcocki but I’m starting to have some doubts. I believe one of them could possible be a hybrid while the other is definitely a Babcocki. I recently discovered that both of them are boys but one of them tends to grow slower (they are in separate tanks), is more domed, lighter, and way more docile (kinda just doesn’t care). The other though is bigger, grows quite a bit faster, darker, and his personality is much more demanding/dominant. The main reason I thought they might be different genders is based off the fact that the smaller male has such a relaxed personality compared to the larger male I am starting to believe may be a Pardalis hybrid. He is way more rowdy than my other guy. I was just hoping for some opinions (I also attached photos to show the differences in their coloring).
