P.pardalis babies enjoying some goodies

My pardalis pardalis babies enjoying some mazuri, kale, and roman lettuce with their sulcata buddies. One of them is really starting to take off with growth. His name is St.Joseph. All my turtles have saint names lol

You haven't seen all the threads about not mixing species yet, huh? This is really a bad idea and it pains me to see it with something so precious as Gpp. They are not "buddies". They are competitors. See the leopard in the first pic with his head all tucked in as the big sulcata bumbles by him? That is stress that a baby tortoise does not need. They would all be better off in their own species specific enclosures.

^ Agreed. Lovely torts though

They look great BUT I do agree with Tom. Not trying beat you down or anything but the the investment you've made it would be a shame to not allow them to all reach their full potential due to being stressed out.

I should have put more info with the thread since I did anticipate these sorts of responses. I do actually keep them separate but do to my sulcata heat bulb going out I had to put them together for the night until I get a replacement bulb today. So everybody can be at ease lol. The only times the are actually kept together is for there morning soak. I'll attach some pictures of the separate enclosures, the picture of the sulcata enclosure was before I completed it since it was custom made. So they just had a slumber party for one night. The sulcatas will be sold come springtime.

I appreciate the concern though. Definitely some passionate tortoise lovers!
