Hello! Just thought I’d introduce my pardalis pardalis- 2.5year old female named Cheerio. She’s about 12” in length and weighs 10.5lbs. I’ve had her since she was a hatchling.

Hello- do you happen to have any pardalis pardalis available? Hatchling or juveniles

Hemi - Almost 7 months.

I picked him up locally from Arizona Tortoise Compound :) Andrew is great!

Here is Hemi a few weeks ago. He was watching me put his breakfast together while he soaked. Offered him a piece and he climbed right up on the inside rim or the container. They are crazy smart! Youtube video.. 32 seconds long.

The short box was the one I just replaced. He was in this from when I got him in December up until 2 weeks ago. The new (Have not replaced moss/fake leaves yet.. He liked to use those as a bathroom whenever he could... pretty nastay): staring contests between Hemi and Bentley happen often...

I thought it seemed like he was growing at a quick rate as well compared to some of the pics I've seen on here of others. I keep him in a large storage type bin and the lights were kept about 8 inches from his shell, per my exotic vet that I work with, who happens to be listed on the list...

Picked up Hemi when he was 1 month old at the beginning of december. He is now 5 months old or so. He is very active and seems to know when his breakfast and soaks are. Here are some pics.

I have! Thank you Wellington!

So little Hemi here if my first tortoise I've ever had. Although I work at an exotic vet, I don't quite get to experience the changes that these guys go through. Leopards aren't too popular compared to the sulcatas/desert tortoises here in Arizona. With that, I'm excited to share this photo...

Hello, Thought I'd share a leopard tortoise skeleton that my boss did. He is a vet and specializes in exotics.

So as my other post stated, this little leo is my first tortoise. He is roughly 1 month old and I've had him since Wednesday. His first enclosure was a cement tub with rabbit pellets, some hides, and a water dish, I later put in a humid hide but realized that wasn't enough. So this is what I...

After reading up more, I'm thinking about changing up my set up for my little guy. I currently have him in a cement tub (as some of you may know this tub has no type of covering and is about 6 1/2 inches deep. I have him on rabbit pellets (tom says thats a no no). After having my tort in there...

Thanks! Tom's post is definitely helpful! I have him in a cement tub right now with UVB and heat lamps on one side and a cool side on the other. I do have a hide on both sides, and the one on the heated side is where I have been misting and keeping it humid. I read about that on TortoiseYard I...

Thanks! I'm still thinking of names for the little bugger.. I've only had him for about 30 hours. Some I was thinking: Tread (like tire tread) Fender Shell Shock Hemi GT

So I finally caved and got myself my first tortoise. Considering I work at an exotic vet office I just had to get one :P I picked this little guy up from ATC. He still doesn't have a name yet though. Here's a picture of him! He's a babcocki leopard.

Well, not quite from what I've read. Sulcata's habitat can be dry.. and leo's need some humidity. Therefore I don't see how their habitat can be the same.

Hello, I've been doing some research on Leopard tortoises for quite some time and I will soon be getting my first hatchling. I've never owned a tortoise before. The only reptile I had were two crested geckos about 1 year ago. I work for a very popular veterinarian who specializes in...
