Beautiful! I hope the little one I just got does not end up being this big though. It is a single dot ...
My sully is a handful, I think big leopards are probably not the bully a sully is though. Oh well if I get a giant I'll make a bigger enclosure.

Your leopard tortoise shouldn’t get large, Most don’t, only the geographic variants from the extreme southern and extreme northern parts of the range reach those kinds of sizes. The most common leopard tortoises in the pet trade originated from the central part of their range, where they usually stay around 12-18” SCL.

Nice compilation. So it is true that they really can get that large. Maybe one of these days someone will import some eggs, start a colony in the US.
