I have a beautiful, nearly 400g yearling+ leopard tortoise available. I got it at 2 months old from a TX breeder who soaks their babies daily. I also soaked daily and have raised it in a high humidity closed chamber, fed on weeds and garden greens and grass. Good eater, friendly, used to...

Im currently house hunting and the house I've liked the most in the last 3 years actually has active termites. The sellers are already getting it treated with bait stations. Of course Im concerned with my leopard tortoise's safety so Im wondering what I should do, my agent/mom is telling me that...

I am looking to build my 2.5 year old leopard tortoise an outside enclosure for pretty much permanent living (unless temps get extreme). He is going to be about 4 feet from my ac unit outside that goes on every now and then and is a loud humming. Could this possibly bother my tortoise? Also any...

Hey there! This is my new tortoise! I was gifted him by a family friend that had to move. They said he’s about 2 years old, he’s about 12 inches long. Not sure exactly what kind of leopard he is or how big he will be. Right now he’s is in an indoor enclosure but I would love to build him a nice...

I recently moved a hour and a half within the State of Florida with my 6 year old confirmed female leopard tortoise. At our new home I was able to build her a much larger habitat that’s she had previously. Her previous habitat was 4’x6’ rabbit run and her new habitat is a 16’x16’ solid fence...

Hello everyone. I’ve had my leopard for tortoise since about September. At first I thought his wet poop was due to stress of travel (1 day overnight). But it hasn’t changed since. Took him to vet, said he looks healthy and poop test came out negative for parasites. He eats greens and enjoys...

I have been tossing this idea up in the air, of trying to create 1 space for both my water turtle(Yellow Belly Slider) and my Leopard Tortoise. However I've been wrestling this idea if its even a good idea to mix waters(fish tank water from Slider as drinking water for Tortoise) and I cant come...

My Leopard tortoise of ~5 years old has recently been biting into the air while trying to eat. She would try a few times before giving up. Please see the video. She was soaked for 10 mins or so in warm water before being fed. More info: She is kept indoor with a mercury bulb that turns on for 6...

Hello, this is my 3 1/2 year old leopard tortoise Luna. She is very active and seems to be pretty healthy but I have a few concerns. She's exactly 9 inches long and 5 1/2 inches wide and I'm concerned that she is not large enough for her age. She also has some pretty visible pyramiding. So I...

Hey all, The Problem: Recently I started noticing white areas at the corners of the scutes and wanted your guys' input on whether it is an indicator I might need to make a change in his care/environment. Note: I ask that if you respond, please be kind, don't speak in absolutes (having positive...

Interesting to see how the weather is over there. Lots of vegetation, lots of watery areas.

How do you go about naming your new hatchling when it may take years before you can figure out the sex? My aunt named her desert tortoise “April” as a baby only to find out later that April was a he…not that it mattered to my aunt really, she kept calling him April. For me, it’s just that much...

Hello everyone! I am new on this forum :) . Currently I’m looking to get my first tortoise (already have a few other reptiles). However I cannot decide on which tortoise to get. I want a tortoise that gets a little bigger than for example the Greek tortoise. Therefore I am stuck between a red...

Hi Everyone, We have acquired two Leopard Tortoises and are confused on identifying the gender. We would love help! We have one that is much smaller, potentially younger. And the next one darker and larger. I inserted three photos of each. Thank you so much!

Hello, I have concern about my Leopard Tortoise, Tommie. Ive had him since 7/10/22. I’ve seen very little growth. And since I started weighing him 8/15/22, he’s been the same weight pretty much. He still feels soft. He seems pretty active especially when soaking. I’m use to rasing Sulcata’s so...
