New leopard tortoise owner

[catahouladog]

I just purchased a young (approximately 10" long) male leopard tortoise. His name is Nelson. I am trying to figure out how to post a picture here using my phone. I'm also considering getting a leopard hatchling or two to raise, and possibly a sulcata as well. I've had box turtles for 20 years, but just got turned onto tortoises. I'd love to get to know some new "turtle friends"!

Welcome to the forum!

I had box turtles before switching to tortoises too! When I made the switch, I started off with leopards a big male just like yours. Then I got some sulcatas and indian stars...this is just too weird.
