Hi everyone,
Well just signed up here and having a read, I just brought my first tortoise 4 weeks ago which is a small leopard tortoise about 4.5 inch long and weighing 350grams, not sure on age though, possibly about a year old.

I also couldn't resist in buying 2 more babies last weekend that were hatched in December so only a couple months old and very small.

I live just outside of Plymouth, any more local people?

Hi Josh,
Welcome to Shelled Warriors from a fellow Leopard tortoise keeper.
Plymouth is my hometown, but we moved to Cornwall about 6 years ago. Our leo is called Ralph, he's about 10" and is 9 years old.
They are lovely characters and figuring out there individual needs can be a challenge but I am sure you will fine your way.

Welcome to the forum, Josh. I'm in Devon but not near Plymouth.

Great to see you here, Sara. How are Neddy and Pru doing?
Our WTF is almost 2 years and the apple of my son's eye.
