I added a Leo to the clan this week. Got Elder from @xXtortoiseloverXx raised in South Florida these last 3,5 yrs.
He will be kept outdoors like my other Tortoises. I called him Elder since he is older than my Sulcata "Tiny" (8lbs) and Aldabra "Cupcake" (6lbs). , still he is smaller at 2,3lbs.
Settling into his new digs.
I hope he does well here.
His curiosity had him roaming the lanai and ignoring the treats , but I'm sure that will change soon.
His form is longer than my other two, and I do love the contrasts in Leopards. They are all so individual in appearance , at least till they are full adults. Now I have to get to work and create a nice outdoor hide for him. I have some tiles I want to make a partially buried " cave" he can escape the sun in. I'll post some pics of it as I do.
