Here's another picture

He's almost 4 years old.. I got him when he was a hatchling, and he's a leopard!

I've had Victor for almost 4 years now, and am wondering the gender. I think male? But I'm not sure.

Ugh.. me too :/

I've tried.. they haven't responded

Over two years of age.

My leopard is almost a year and a half old, and I do put him outside during the day when it's nice. But I've noticed that if I keep his outdoor enclosure in the same spot, he gets bored and stops eating the grass and the weeds, so I move the enclosure and all of the sudden he starts eating again.

It seems like everytime I add substrate and move around my leopard tortoises enclosure (his hides, food and water dishes, decorations) he goes around the enclosure for a couple hours and is very active. To me it seems like he's just exploring, but I also wonder if maybe he's stressed out?

Do you think I could maybe put it in something like a pot so he can't reach it?

Thank you for your response! I will definitely look into getting real plants for his enclosure. Also, I do use cypress mulch mixed with peat moss, coco coir, and I have sphagnum moss around his enclosure and in some of his hides. I do also have a shower curtain over his enclosure to keep...

Thank you! (:

EDIT: Pictures got mixed up while uploading, so they're not in order. I posted about my leapard tortoises weight awhile ago wanting to know if he looked healthy, and if it seemed like he was on the right track in his growth. I mainly just wanted to know since I got Victor (my leapard) from...

Do you have any recommendations for a thermostat?

I've been looking into getting a ceramic heat emitter for my baby leopard tortoise.. but I have some questions. My first one is what fixture do you use? I've seen those cage ones, but is that the only type of fixture you can use? My second question is what wattage should I get? My tortoises...

The temps reach mid 70's during the nighttime, I'm planning on getting a ceramic heat emitter soon to help out with that. I'm so happy he seems to be doing well, I was really afraid after reading the Tortoise Town experiences on here that he was going to be one of those baby tortoises that don't...

Yes, it was an accident lol

His basking spot is 95⁰f, the rest of his enclosure is around 80⁰ to 85⁰f. Humidity is at 70-85%. He always has food leftover, I feed him once in the morning and once in the evening, I also soak him for 25 to 30 minutes in the morning.

No, he's the only tortoise I have

I received my hatchling leopard tortoise in May of 2020. I bought him from a place called Tortoise Town, and now, doing further research on this place, I've realized this probably wasn't the best place to get him from, since it seems like they start their tortoises in a dry environment. I got...
