I'm hoping to see some new recent pics of your Pardalis Pardalis tortoises! Any type of pics would be awesome, top shots, plastron shots, feeding shots, etc. I'm hoping to get some updated pictures today of mine to share but here are some that are a few weeks old. Please participate :)ImageUploadedByTortForum1381677155.738109.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1381677170.110787.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1381677183.817331.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1381677195.304389.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1381677205.931318.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1381677216.473711.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1381677230.158510.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1381677280.479933.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1381677342.796958.jpg

I bought my two SA leopards from Tom in October of 2010. They were about 2 months old at that time. Here they are today:

I don't know why one is so much bigger than the other one. I've tried different things, they both eat well, he's not bullied. It's just the way he is.

Here are the two SA leopards with my 2005 babcocki to show the difference in growth rates between the two kinds:

Back in '05 when he hatched, I was still raising babies the beef jerky way.

And here's a 25lb female Babcocki, again for size comparison:

Yvonne thanks for those pictures. I've seen yours before on another PP thread. They are beautiful! Are they both still looking female??

Last time I checked their undersides I really couldn't tell for sure. Tom was here a few weeks ago and he couldn't say for sure either. Later I'll go take another look and see if I can tell.

Yeah they love that tunnel/burrow I made for them. I have a few of them throughout their enclosure.

For the night he seems to prefer burrowing his own hide, usually goes shell deep.

That's a great naptime photo. One of my PP likes to borrow down to. The others just like to snug up against something

I took a few more this morning since it was sunny and I was able to let them soak up some rays before work. They LOVE their mazuri.

I can see why! Flawless and beautiful. Any ideas on whether its looking male or female? Was this one of the 2010 group that people got from Tom?

This is a male. This is likely from the same season, they are from the same breeder but I did not get him from Tom.

I'm seriously loving each and everyone's pictures of their GPP's. I'm always checking back on this thread to see who else has posted and to just go through each picture over and over again. Here are all of my photos I took today, I even threw in a picture of their chamber. I renovated and did some upgrades from today.

My first Youtube video ever of them soaking. (Better if you watch it in HD) http://youtu.be/_ej8EQ3PoDQ
