| Babies to Adults |
Leopard Tortoises are from the same 'family' as Sulcata, so they too are from Africa. Although their diet & care instructions are similar to Sulcata, there are still many differences. Clutch sizes are smaller so there are fewer Leopards around, but they are often favored for their beautiful shells and smaller size as adults. Leopards are not as hardy as their huge Sulcata relatives, but with proper temperature, good nutrition and appropriate living conditions, Leopards can make wonderful life-long pets that are sociable, hardy and low- maintenance. |
| Leopard Pardalis-Pardalis pictured above grow larger (as adults) than the more common Pardalis- Babcocki pictured below. As babies, Pardalis-Pardalis can be recognized by having multiple dots on each scute, wheras Pardalis-Babcocki have only one dot or sometimes none at all. |
| Young Leopards should live indoors during the first two years or until they reach 4 - 5" inches in length. Once outside they must have a heated house year-round. Shell color can vary from blond to mostly black, to pearl white with a variety of patterns. Leopards are sociable & friendly making very nice pets. |
