I didn't know if I should post here, or in the leopards section. It's not really about care-just curiosity. What makes a blonde leopard tortoise blonde? I seem to have one (he/she) is 3.75 inches SCL and has minimal black in the center of each carapace scute. I originally heard only high temps/humidity can make them blonde. But I have 10% humidity, no humid hide, and the basking area is 92 degrees. Temps throughout range from 83 on the warm end to 65 on the extreme cool end (large enclosure). He's never had any health problems, just seems to be a blonde. Could it be hereditary? He was hatched from two "normal" parents.
