I don't plan to get a leopard any time soon, BUT I would like to in a few years. I currently have 4 Russian tortoises and a Greek tortoise (kept separately, of course). All spend significant time outside during the Summer, and during the winter have to be in their tort tables because it's cold here. I use good 10.0 desert UVB during the indoor months, basking temp is 95-102, and room temp is 68-70. I'm no n00b to tortoises, but have never cared for a leopard.
My question: are there many folks on here who have had success raising BABY leopards here in the Pacific North West? It is pretty humid here, and I know that this can cause respiratory problems. I know that babies need to be soaked often, and actually thrive from having humidity in their enclosure (helps their shells be smooth). However, 2 separate people with a decent amount of experience have told me: "Baby leopards don't do well here in the PNW."
Any input?
