Beautiful animal though, I've never seen a tortoise patterned like that before. Its looks like the kind of thing that would be expensive lol

That is a nice looking one. What are you feeding? What light do you use?

Thanks everyone! Leopard Tortoises are smaller than their cousin, the Sulcata. They generally stay under 100lbs. Her color should pretty much stay the same.
I'll update on her once she settles in.-Jordan
