What is considered a baby and a juvi leopard?

[Joe S]

I am currently keeping my 3.5 inch leopard in a closed chamber enclosure. While I was reading a few threads and guides here I came across something i would like to have cleared up

When discussing a tortoises age and size, when would be a safe time to say your leopard is now a juvi and out of its baby stage? Is there a size and weight or an age threshold. Thanks!

I think there are many interpretations, but the way I view it is from hatch to the end of the first year - hatchling. From one year to two years - yearling. After that until about five - juvenile.

I agree with Yvonne

I agree. However, it is recommended to keep up the higher humidity until around 8 inches or 2 years for the sulcatas and most that are following the recommendations of raising a smooth leopard of Toms threads are following the same for leopards.
