Will do.Ok guys it's been quite some time since my last post. I took some updates photos of my group this morning so I'll be sharing those shortly....stay tuned
How utterly sickening!Thanks for the compliment guys. Some people may notice a few tortoises missing. The day before I moved to my knew house in April I had 4 leopards (and a few hermanns) stolen from my old house. Apparently someone in the neighborhood new we were moving and took the opportunity to walk away with two handfuls of tortoises. I was incredibly upset and it took the wind out of my sails for a while. But God restores all that is lost so I wasn't going to dwell on it long. I'm still grateful for the ones I do have and they really bring me a lot of joy. I can't wait to produce some pure PP babies possibly next year. My young PP female is on track to breed in the next 18-24 months but I'm still on the look out for adult PP female to put with my group. That's been the #1 goal from the beginning, to produce smooth growing baby PP leopards for all the south african enthusiast. Again thanks for the compliments and I'll be doing more frequent updates now that life is starting to slow down a litte (I think lol)
They really are very tricky to sex. I've only ended up with two confirmed females so far. I've decided to raise up another group of 4-6 in hopes of a few more females.I've noted the same difficulties sexing SA leopards. Funny how most seem to turn out male.
Sorry to hear about the stolen tortoises. I've had that happen before and it still remains one of my worst fears.
