I'm pretty sure that was Ethiopia. It looks like there is one historic account of the Leopard in Sudan and it is questionable. I've posted photos of the ones from Ethiopia
Aldabraman... that is seriously impressive although it does seem normal that if the female is fertile they usually have 90 to 100% hatch rate. How big was the female and how big were the babies? Quote:

Ed, can you keep same sex but different species together if they get on? I know most people say no. But surely if there is no conflict it would be ok. Or is it a no no?
Sorry aldabra man dont want to take over your thread, but its something that ive always wondered about.

Average adult in the US is about 150 to 200 pounds... about 30 inches SCL. Hatchlings run about 1.5 to 2 inches SCL.

You gotta know my answer to that one. I've currently have a Greek Running around with a Redfoot... I've never seen a problem with established captive tortoises.
Wild caught tortoises are a totally different story. Quote:

You don't want to admit that in certain circles but this thread kinda opened the door to the topic in general.
