Hi all, I have 2 leopard tortoise hatchlings. One is around 3-4 months old and the other is around 8 months old. Problem is, the 3-4 month old leopard's body is quite soft but the shell is not that soft just slightly. I don't know if this is normal because my other tortoise's body is...

Thanks.. Yes I know what you mean.

Thanks for that, I didn't know they have to be over a certain age to tell. They are about less than 5 months old. I guess I would just have to wait then.

Can someone please tell me what gender are my Leopards? I have attached Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 pics. Hope these images are enough to identify what gender they are, if not I can retake. Both have long tails.. Thanks

Very creative, I see what you've done there :)

Nice one, I like it. Any more pictures?

Thanks Tom for this, great care-sheet. Will try to follow as much as I can.

Thinking of buying the ReptiSun.

Thanks everyone. Yes, I will definitely need a tube. Can you recommend which type of tube I should get?

Thanks, But are coils in general dangerous to have? or just that particular product I have? What if I buy a different uvb coil? because I have no money to buy a fluorescent fixture =/.

Thanks for the info.. Too bad its the coil type and I done some research after I had bought it. Its quite expensive and want to keep it. What type of light and heat lamp would you recommend?

Hi, When people say they clean the substrates, do they mean replace them all with new substrates? or do they mean give it a good rinse then re-use them? Also I want to know how do you guys spot clean on coco coir? doesnt the poop get mixed in?

Sure, I will post them up soon, when I get my lighting sorted out =)

@JoesMum Yeah I keep him indoors and also use air-conditioning and I guess I would just have to use both heat and uvb. @erosal Yep it really is and I've just seen some of the pics of your leopard tortoises and they are exactly the same ones as mine. I am thinking of just buying one lamp that...

Yeah, I read some threads about some people in here from Hong Kong too. Thanks for that.

Hello everyone, I am Kevin from Hong Kong and I own a Leopard Tortoise. I hope to learn from you guys. :cool:

Hi all, I am new to this forum and have been reading some threads and have learnt a lot. I currently live in Hong Kong and at this time of the year, it is usually really hot and humid. Do I really need a heat lamp? I actually asked an expert in the pet shop and he advised me that I can...
