Leopard tortoise confirm

[Speedymama]

Hi all,

I was gifted a tortoise in August, I think he is a leopard, but I just would like some confirmation please.

He is in a cage at the moment while his house is being built.

TIA

Also be sure you’re feeding the correct things. The lettuce you’re feeding now is mostly water and has no nutritional value.

Hi and welcome! Your tortoise has a lovely shell!

Oh and I see you live in the Kwazulu Natal... I used to live there at Sodwana Bay. What part are you in?

Thank you so much for this helpful info.

I have started giving him dandelion, grass and mulberry leaves mixed with his lettuce, and will slowly add more as he gets used to this and reduce the lettuce. I have heard they enjoy eating mushrooms? Is this true?

Thanks
