Wet or dry

[Zac dale]

I have a baby leopard, should I keep his indoor enclosure wet or dry?

It's in all those links I've given you a few times, slightly damp substrate with 80% humidity and temps must stay above 80 degrees

Do you have any pictures of the enclosure you keep it in?

If you want it to be stunted and pyramided, then raise it in the dry fashion that most websites and books recommend.

If you want it to grow normally, be healthy, and grow smooth, then raise it in the monsoon conditions that they thrive in.

This has gone on for long enough. If we want to argue the fact of whether or not SA leopards should be kept wet or dry, please start a new thread.

For the remainder of THIS thread - Zac dale was asking if his leopard should be kept wet or dry. As Zac dale does NOT have a SA leopard tortoise, all this SA argument is not benefiting Zac dale - and this is their thread.

Most of the leopard tortoises kept by folks on this Forum are NOT SA leopards. And most of the phenotype leopards kept by our members DO hatch during the monsoon season. End of story.
