Just received my new babies today.
They are home and safe and happy. I love them already ❤❤?? I got three Sudanese sulcatas from @Tom and two Leopards from @Gijoux to add to the one leopard hatchling I was given... First I would like to say, “thank you!” to both of these amazing breeders for being so patient with me as I asked questions and got things ready for the new arrivals and for them waiting for me.. The hatchlings are very well cared for. So absolutely excited about these little guys. I will take proper pictures tomorrow. I have some pictures from the breeders though so you will see them☺(Yay baby pictures).
Differences I noticed already compared to the tortoises I got before from (not reputable breeders) the ones before where definitely dryer than these guys, they had almost flaky skin and where definitely more bumpy even as hatchlings. The eyes on these new hatchlings are clearly brighter and they seem to explore more. The sulcatas are not afraid of anything, they are happy to come right to me. The ones I got before (sulcata and leopards) where extremely weary of people from the start and wouldn’t eat anything “new” unless I practically starved them, these guys are eating on the first day, and they are eating EVERYTHING lol. I can’t explain it but both the leopards and the sulcatas I received this time just seem extremely healthy and lively, way way different from before. The leopards are shy but they are still very active. All of them are smooth and beautiful.
On a side note-Tom my husband wants to know what tortoise wizard magic you use to make the tortoise hatchlings act so bold and carefree ?
