New Tortiose!!!

[turtlelubber]

I got a new tortoise!!! Her name is Camilla

---

Here she is!! (I didn't take this pic her old owners did.) She is 1 1/2 years old. (I thought she was 3 but ohh well)

 

[Irwin4530]

Beautiful! She looks very small for 1.5......at least in the picture.

 

[turtlelubber]

Ya.... She is really small, I don't know why though... Maybe she is the runt?? Haha

hi, how nice. its those little ones you have to watch out for.'lol' they are tough. shes a cutie.

 

[mainey34]

Cute, but she does not look like a redfoot..

 

[turtlelubber]

Thx ya she's a little tough, she doesn't look like a redfoot but apparently she is

 

[Yvonne G]

No, she's not. She (If indeed it is female) is a leopard tortoise...and she's under a year of age.

 

[turtlelubber]

They told me she was a red foot!! I knew she looked wrong… but it was on the Internet sooo guess I looked at it wrong. (I am not-so experinced w/ torts)

---

[Rockford]

Very nice. Congratulations!

 

[lynnedit]

Congratulations! Each species has its section in this forum, so you can haunt the Leopard section!

 

[Laura]

pretty much like a sulcata...

 

[Tortoise]

Beautiful leopard you have.
So cute and beautiful markings on shell.
Enjoy your new addition. She will get much larger than a red foot by the way.
Lots of great info on leopards on the species specific areas of forum
Thanks for posting and ask away with any questions-lots of leopard keepers on here

 

[sibi]

Everything you'll need to know can be found right here on the forum. Leopard care sheets are similar to sulcatas care, and since it's still a baby, you'll need to keep him/her warm and humid. Best wishes on your new baby leo.

 

[turtlelubber]

Thanks I'll go take a look at it!!! I am lovin her already haha

 

[jtrux]

Yep you have a nice Leopard there. And a little correction, they are not breeds but rather species. Also, from the looks of it she/he can't be more than maybe 6 months but you can never tell really.

And typically people refrain from calling out sellers and breeders to avoid giving them a bad wrap but I for one would love to know who sold you this "redfoot" because i'll definitely avoid them in the future and suggest others do the same. That's really poor business practice and I don't condone that at all.

Oh and as far as info goes, please go to the Leopard section of this forum and read everything you can. If you have ANY questions, please ask them. No question is too dumb, remember, you're very new to this and some things that would be obvious to an experienced keeper may not be something you would consider so ask away and I promise you will be guided in the right direction.
