I was just given this lovely boy(?) by someone who was moving and couldn't bring him. He is currently hiding under a flowerpot in my yard, and grazing contentedly. I'm told he is 3 years old and 10" long. He's quite heavy and rather friendly.
Most of the leopard tortoise information I have read pertains to babies, are there any leopard-specific care requirements for adults? I would love to hear your thoughts on his sex and condition. I also adopted two little CDTs from the sanctuary in Arroyo Grande on Sunday, and aside from the usual quarantining and separating it would be neat to get some advice on keeping both. Which is the more fragile species? What are the major care differences?
