New baby leopard tort (lots of pictures)

[lennie]

Hello,
I got a baby leopard tortoise about two weeks ago and I'm just looking on some opinions and advice. I bought her from a pet shop that had her in a dirty tank. I am working toward getting her in a closed chamber environment. I was just interested in what everyone thought of her. Does she look healthy? She eats like a tank, drinks like a fish and always poops in her bath. She isn't shy. She will stick her head out when I pet her.

Thanks. I just love how supportive this community is. Do you have any suggestions on live plants for her enclosure? Thinks that she can munch on and hide in too.

your new baby has a nice high-domed carapace. My suggestion is to make sure there is plenty of humidity in the enclosure. The way to keep the shell growing smoothly and to not pyramid is moisture, moisture, moisture!!!
