8 year old proven adult 14" male South African Leopard Tortoise Pardalis Pardalis I purchased him as a hatchling from Ben Awes back in 2012 and raised him from a hatchling with Tom's method in an enclosed chamber to produce a smoother shell than most captive raised Leopard Tortoises. He was...

7 year old proven adult 13”-14” female Leopard Tortoise Pardalis Babcocki (possibly gravid) I personally raised her from a hatchling in an enclosed chamber to produce a smoother shell than most captive raised Leopard Tortoises. She was raised in a high humidity enclosure and was being fed on a...

@Team Gomberg Thank you for the links, would you know anyone who is willing to build this for me if I paid and picked it up?

Yeah, Mickeys a monster! I won't be surprised if he breaks a foot next summer. Yeah that would be great and by any chance could you provide pictures. Thank you.

I do not plan on changing anything except I want to be ready for next year because Mickey is close to 8 inch and I plan on raising him outdoors next spring. It has only been a year since my brother has had them. Can you please send me your details? Thank you.

Thanks I am doing my best and I appreciate the reference!

Hey, how’s everyone on TF doing? As some of you may know my brother Ralph “Sulcatadud3” will be away for some time and as his younger brother he has asked me to take care of his Leopard Tortoises. I have been around watching and learning from him for many years and have been in the care of his...

From my own personal observations of housing single Leopards and groups, there are noticeable characteristic differences. I'll start off with my experience of housing a Leopard alone. When I was keeping my GPB separately, I noticed she had a daily routine. She would start the day off by basking...

They don't sell MVB at Lowes. Only animal speciality shops. A 100W does put out a lot of heat, but this also depends on the size of your enclosure and height. A thermostat that has proven to work well for myself and many others is HygroFarm, it runs about $20-$30 on Amazon and I recommend using...

I'm loving everyone's pictures and I'm literally dying inside because I want all of them! You can all ship them to me, my address is... :P Greg, your male looks phenomenal! Has he grown since the last time we've talked?

That's great news! May I recommend try using an object for sizing comparisons. I'm using an 8"x8" tile and every time I check on growth the tile starts to get smaller and they start to get bigger. :P

I just read your situation and it's much more different than my despise for people who buy a tortoise. You found a Sulcata, which to me is a rare encounter for anyone. You never chose to go and just buy one and I commend your willing efforts to provide the best that you can for charge. We all...

Well for my Leo's my GPB is definitely one of the more outgoing of the group. She definitely has warmed up and been more personable since I've bought her back in August. I personally believe there isn't a "set" personality on both sub species because I don't see it in my Leo's. However I do...

I'm glad you started reading this forum before you got him, I'm assuming you had most of everything already setup and ready for him? I personally despise when people get a tortoise before they've learned about it or have anything setup for them. Looks like your enclosures working for you and it...

Yes, it's another one and I know there are many "Post/Share Picture" threads, but I thought I'd make a thread specifically made for soaking and basking pictures. Whether their indoor, outdoor, wherever, show off your GPB, GPP and even hybrid beauties! :D Everyone get in...

That's a damn good looking Sulcata! :D You're doing a fantastic job! Would you mind showing your enclosure you have setup? :)

As Tom, had said there are an immense amount of success stories on this forum. Tom, being the first to provide us with facts a long with a "how to" search through the forum and you'll see tortoises of many species raised in high humidity, that look outrageously beautiful. Look at the 2010 South...

If you're using a closed chamber like Tom, has instructed, you won't have a problem keeping the settings this way. You've just got to do some tuning until temperatures and humidity are met. A lot of us use closed chambers because it's proven fact by Tom, that this is the most health beneficial...
