Baby Leopard Play Pen

[Levi the Leopard]

I am in love with these 2 new babies. They are so tiny and adorable I just can't stop looking at them

They'll be raised indoors with a hot and humid environment. At this size I'll only have them outside for about an hour a day. They will gradually get more time as they grow. For their hour outside I don't want to loose them in the big leopard pen so I made a small play pen that I can move around as needed. It's only 12"x24" because that was the size of the 2x4's I had lying around

Eventually they'll get a bigger play pen and then run of the big pen.

I must have taken a million pictures of them today but I'll spare you and just show you a few...

They started to graze right away. Eating the clovers and the grass!

and while I was checking out the leopard pen I found this!! A squash growing I normally pinch off the flowers as they bloom and rotate feeding it to the different torts. Must have missed one!

Wait a minute. My memory might be playing tricks on me. Didn't you have one leopard? Then you got two more to finish your trio of leopards. How does 1+2 =5? Is this some new kind of forum math I haven't heard about? What happened, I missed something, hmmm

This is not addicted math, she need two more to grow smooth for demonstrations, totally different lol. Cute little guys I remember my little Leo's, very fun species

Haha Barb...

So yes I had my trio. The one I raised smooth and 2 I adopted from another member that were started dry.
Opportunity came up to acquire a new hatchling and I wanted to be able to raise another smooth. I have been putting together presentations on the humid method and needed another smooth example.
When I met up to pick the baby she surprisingly had 2 to offer. So I took both.


My Husband made me give him an official handshake tonight. No more turtles at the house.

But I can still add more to the classroom tank

See...miller gets it

Heather they are just precious. Look forward to watching them grow


Two kids, One husband, One Hines57, One Leopard Tortoise, and a room at the sanitarium lol

And your husband bought the "needed for presentation" excuse. Okay, I must get over my fear of talking to a group, and build my presentation. First thing I needed for presentation, buy, more torts. If my husband bucks at the idea, I'm sending him to talk to yours. When you shook hands, you had your fingers crossed didn't you, blah, haha

Seriously, they are adorable and you are doing a fantastic job speaking to people and spreading the word.

They are so cute! I become more and more obsessed as each day goes by.

Heather, you have inspired me (Tom too) I'm doing hot and humid with Cloudy. When he's a little older and if he's smooth, then I want a trio too (of 3 or 5). No one tell my husband (yet)

 

[Millerlite]

What's better then a trio of leopards? 5 leopard tortoises. I'm telling you worse then potato chips
