Hello. This is my first thread. I am also a beginner in raising tortoises. So far i had only kept and raised one leopard tortoise Frodo which died in a car accident. Frodo was 2 years old. It was heartbreaking and took us a while before deciding on raising a new leopard.
But one thing i realise with Frodo was shyness. We could never interact with him. Always spying on him secretly. That killed my sons interest. It was like a one way interaction. Every time he sees us he would shrink inside his shell. That’s when I found this thread about South African leopards which are suppose to be more outgoing and interactive. However i live in Malaysia and have pet stores that tell me they have the pure pardalis pardalis but i have my doubts.
I am hoping a pure breeder in this forum is willing to export to Malaysia. Or if anybody knows anyone who can do that. I really love the leopards and would love one that is outgoing. Any help or comment would be helpful. Just FYI Malaysia is hot and humid.
Thank you
Mark
