    The first two are our leopard tortoises, The second one Stoly(rescue), is a Russian tortoise. They live in separate enclosures. Stoly can live outside year round and hibernates underground but the leopards come in at night during the winter but now they are fine outside fulltime till around later Oct.

    I love my torts too! They are the sweetest lil guys. They teach me patience. Sometimes we all need to just chill like a tortoise, lol.

    Well if you ever make it to the west coast you can come over and they can be yours for the day.(and a few margueritas)

    Cant wait to hatch some torts one day. That will be the cuteness overload for sure

    I just love the leopards . They have a great way about themselves. They are one of the first that made me fall in love with tortoises but they get a bit big so I opted for a hermans. Who I just adore

    Great pics! How long have you had them? The pyramiding isn't as bad on the smallest one yet. I few tweaks on the husbandry and I bet you could stop it altogether for all of them (can't 'cure' pyramiding, but you can stop it from getting worse and it will be less noticeable as they grow).
