Penelope is a Leopard

No problem! Glad to hear that's a good size.

Really? A Babcocki that's 1000 gm at 12 months?

Thank you Tom! Im thinking it has to be cosmetic only. I have followed your care sheets carefully since she was a hatchling.

Honestly...I won't cut back. She loves to eat and she is definitely thriving. Her lighting, temps, and humidity are right where they need to be. I'm just going to be happy she's healthy! If she's cosmetically pyramiding that's ok.

Very good read. Thank you for sharing! Sounds like I might want to cut back on Penelope's buffet!

I am just at a loss because all of my digital hygrometers say humidity is 83-90% at as all times. She's also soaked daily for 30-45 minutes.The only thing I could think of was the fast rate in which she's growing. She's 11 months old and 338 gm. She's a big girl (or boy!) for her age I think.

Thank you!

She would only be outside about 30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. Do you think she wasn't out there enough? She's been indoors all winter and it's still pretty cool outside here. I'll get some pics up this evening.

I will get a picture of my enclosure and a profile shot this evening when I get home from work. I have something directly under my basking light so she can't get too hot. I'll double check temps there just in case. She's never even close to the basking area though. She's never been interested. I...

My Leopard tortoise is 11 months old and weighs 321 gm. She looks like she's pyramiding to me! I don't understand why. Her enclosure is closed chamber and the humidity is always between 80 and 90%. When she goes into her hide at night, it is closed chamber as well with humidity 95-100% every...

He's beautiful! I think it's a great picture!

What month is Murphy?
