looks like they are doing the conga line. Nice photo Tom! I can't believe those are the same guys we were soaking that one time. They have great growth!

Nice picture Tom! Leopards are nice tortoises, especially when they are all smooth. A buddy of mine has one adult that is pretty badly pyramided.

EVERYBODY raised them badly pyramided up until just a few years ago. Most people still do because the word hasn't gotten out enough yet. Outside of the good people here on the forum, I don't think too many people are raising them smooth here in the continental US. I raised lots of badly pyramided ones up until about 3 years ago, when I first started putting all the humidity/moisture/hydration stuff into practice. Daisy was my first "guinea pig", followed by the EOP sulcata hatchlings and then these guys here in the pic. In about another 5 years we should start seeing more and more smoother adults.

I liked this pic because half of them are looking up at the camera like, "What?"

Isn't it awful, but years ago I thought that tortoises were supposed to have those "bumps" on them. I'm embarrassed to say that. Beautiful babies Tom.
