Leopard Tortoises

(Geochelone pardalis)


I purchased a couple of hatchling Leopard tortoises a few years ago. Unfortunately one died a month or so later. The other I raised for a few years, and then sent to join a group in another collection.
They are high on my list of favorite tortoises though, personable and easy to care for. I do intend to keep some more some day.
These photos taken shortly after aquiring the pair are the only surviving photographs I have.
