This is Malcolm! He has the best personality! Loves to chase you and always tried to get into small places or the house.

He also tries to breed with larger tortoises that are a different species ;)

The sulcata in this picture passed away this year. Our neighbor kids threw a red sponge-y thing into our backyard and Tomato ingested it and died. Completely heartbreaking...

Believe it or not, the chickens sometimes take rides on his back. It's hilarious!

I miss my Tomato. Thanks :)

That is a shame about Tomato.

Malcolm looks great and that shot with the jack-o-lantern is excellent.

How did you raise this guy? What part of the world are you in?

I live in Arizona. He was raised alongside a pool and had lots of access to water/humidity. He turned out very well, I'd say!

I'd say indeed!

I read you have another leopard hatchling on the way.
Please share detailed info about your husbandry and let us follow along as you raise the next one.

Many of us here use closed chambers with 80% humidity to growth smooth shells. But end results speak for themselves and any method that produces smooth growth is worth hearing about.

Looking forward to hearing more about what you do.
