Personality of Leopard

[reticguy76]

I am confused on this site anymore. I can't get to it online and the app is waaayyyy different and weird to use. Can someone private message me to explain a little bit about the changes this site apparently went through

Maybe the personality difference is more noticeable when their older but right now I don't see it.

This is correct. Usually sulcatas lose their "baby" behavior at around three years old. It varies. There are exceptions and there are generalities. Males are also usually a bit more "personable" than females too, but not always.

R this photo sums up my leopard torts personality he's a brat who refuses to take a bath and he seems fairly intelligent he knows the difference between me and my roommates all ready so don't believe that breeder! Most animals will develop personality if given the chance

hehe, Duke, my leopard, does the same thing. I had to get him a "tub" with taller sides. I swear at this point my leopards have more personality then my sulcatas do.

I don't know about this one...she *could* be a cross. She does have very freckled skin.

But I'm pretty sure these two are straight babcocki's, if I remember what Greg T said correctly.

I somehow missed these pics till just now. I love their color and their high dome shape. I hope mine do that.

 

[Levi the Leopard]

I have the "normal mutt" Tom is referring to. Levi has characteristics from both sides.
He's a pretty rock yet has the most freckled skin I've seen.
He is ok around me but withdraws into his shell if others approach him.
All his scutes have a single dot but he's already 10" at 2.5 years old.

@Elohi -Summer was raised with her brother Bumble Bee (now with @Jtort ) and they were both handled/cared for the same. Bumble Bee was one of the most outgoing Leopards I've ever had or ever seen! He was constantly active, all over the place, investigating everything and hid for no one! (The kids wanted to name him Curious George because of it but I veto that name). But summer was never like that... how you describe her is how I experienced her too. Not a shy one that stays hidden..but cautious, reserved and far from a "curious george". So isn't it interesting that these 2 had different behavior despite being raised together and cared for the same?
