lovely to see how much they change, i cant wait for mine to get to adult size, i love my leopard and one day hope for a group like yours, they are a credit to you

thanks for the kind comment Olly.apart from the 2 largest girls i raised the adults from hatchlings i bought in 1996.they all appear healthy and the cb ones are absolutely fearless and treat me like a curiosity. rushing over to see what im doing whenever i enter their enclosure.its not based on food because i have never fed them out in their enclosure,only in the shed.

i try to get most my tortoises from hatchlings as i really enjoy watching them grow up

OMG!!!!! Terry they are both lovely, always great to see your torts, I had forgotted how big they grow.

wow some amazing photos of these beauties,well looked after and just stunning to look at
Terry did you see the four for sale near me?It makes me feel very sad

they are a very big commitment.its far to easy to criticise people who sell them like this though. sadly peoples circumstances change.i hope they find a permanent home poor creatures.although they dont look well grown they could still benefit from a good home what they need more than anything is access to good quality uv for the times when they cant be outside grazeing in the sunshine.
