Hey there. Welcome to the forum. I dont know much about Angulates , but im sure someone who does will reply soon. It looks like you have some kind of animal hurt the shell of your tort. I would bring them in at night . Mongoose and other wildlife are known to give torts a hard time. All...

Hey there Its great to hear of a fellow South African owner. First off , welcome to the forum. I think that you will find that the info you get here is awesome. Your torts diet obviously needs to be changed , but seeing as we are about to go into winter here , you can expect him to eat less...

I was sitting in a physics lesson today, when we started doing the electro-magnetic spectrum. We went through the different types of radiation , and some of the effects of each type. When we got to UV , my teacher brought up the fact that skin cancer is caused by UV rays . This brought about...

My leos scale fell off once. He looked just like that. Gosh thst scared me. It turned back in to its normal colours after a few weeks.

Ive noticed that my tort doesent so much like me, but I do feel that he tolerates me. For example , he will look at me when I walk past his pen , but wont come towards me. But he doesn't retreat into his shell when I pick him up or handle him . However , if I do mistakenly scare him into his...

My new thread is up. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-79807.html May God bless all reptiles.

Hi everyone. So as I promised a few weeks ago , I have visited a local South African game park , to document the type of landscape that leopard tortoises would be living in naturally in the wild. I took along with me a thermometer to record the temps . Unfortunately I saw every animal that...

I will be sure to do that. I think that my school's geography department will have one of each. I will put whatever I find in a new thread ( sorry to completely change the subject of your thread ) May God bless all reptiles.

Ive spoken to one of my friends from school today.he says his mum and dad will be able to take us along to the KZN iTaala game reserve. They apparently also have an area with a large collection of torts that they have found in the reserve.( just incase we dont see some in the reserve ) aswell...

Only a pleasure everyone Im glad i could be helpful in some way. I will make arrangments to go to a closeby game park. I hear that they have a large number of tortoises. When I go, I will be sure to take some photos and post them on TF to show what their landscape is like and what they look...

Hey Yes , some leopards here are very dark when they get old, and have almost no patterns. Those ones are almost always from the higher up areas and are actually called Mountain tortoises by locals , but are pretty much leopards.The leopards down here have their leopard like patterns and...

Im a pretty good sharp shooter, But im not sure if that makes me an athlete ??? Sent from my GT-I9300 using TortForum mobile app

Hi I live in South Africa, and we have just come out of a long and cold winter. Like Tom said, it depends were your tort comes from .I live in the warmest part of South Africa (durban) and I can say that leopards here most definitely do not hibernate. Its never snown here , and is always...
