Like I said in the post about the Colombian red-footed twins, these are scans of old slides that were taken in the early 1980's.
In this case my leopard tortoises. We had raised two juvenile females up to adult size and then had another female that was raised to about 12 inches by a friend that we incorporated into our collection. The two males that we used for breeding came from a guy in Virginia as there simply weren't that many big leopard tortoises around back then.
The female in these photos was around 14 inches by the time she began laying eggs. In her first year she produced over 70 eggs...
This is her nesting in my back yard...
Not much else to say about these guys but here are some of the hatchlings. We would sell them in lots of 10 for only $20.00 each!...
