Hello everybody. I have been around the tortoise forum for awhile now, but I just watched from afar. I figured its time to be active in it since this has become my internet pastime.
I live in west/ central Texas where its very hot and dry. I currently own 2 leopards (g.p.b.) one is ~6.5 in and 460 grams. about 5 years old. the other leopard is from elliot here on the forums and is 72 grams and about 4-5 months.
My smaller sulcata is about 200 grams and a year and half old. my bigger sulcata is somewhere around 15-18 lbs and 10 years old.
I base my care around as big as an outside enclosure as I can provide so they have free range of grazing/ exercise and natural sunlight. I feed different greens/vegetables daily for treats and to add stuff to their normal grass.
names - bigger leo appears to be female so she is miss liberty (when i get a counterpart to her it will be named captain america and all their offspring will be named freedom)
smaller leo is named keikay. I actually bought it as a b-day gift for my girlfriend and she loves it but I am the care giver for now.
smaller sullcata is Big Tex. I have had him since a few weeks old and have had him longer than the others
bigger sulcata is omega-1.
i also have a veiled chameleon named peeve. (he's my pet peeve)
and a ball python named monty (like monty python)
I am very passionate about my reptiles and still have a few more species I want as soon as I get the funds haha.
I am currently making accomodations for a M.E.P. because after reading y'alls threads, I feel like I cannot continue my tortoise collection without a Manouria species.
I tried to attach pics of my current but i dunno if they went through.
