Hi Terry,

Would love to see your torts. Posting is easy, but it's easy to miss the instruction. Are you viewing this with the green and black colours on the screen (if not, then you will need to get them up there). When you push 'reply' and you are typing your message in the little box, at the bottom left of the box and just outside it, in green is the instruction 'Add image to post'. Click on that and just follow the instructions (browse button, etc.).

btw i forgot to mention that bottom leopard has a ver good shell, how old was it when you got it and was it wild caught because as you will know it is very difficult to keep leopards smooth, well done if you have raised this one for years and what is your routine, i would like to copy.

and also how old are all the leopards in the photo???

Terry thanks alot for posting the pictures they are brill, and your leopards well what can I say they look a real credit to you. If I need any advice as mine are growing up would you mind me asking you, as I know not many people will take on leos because of their size and other problems they are prone to, so its good to find an experienced leopard keeper, and as Carl said I'd be interested in how you keep them eg housing and feeding routine.

What are the problems leopards are prone to? I've had no problems with mine other than finding them enough grazing<g> It's worth people knowing that if they are going to try to keep them in small enclsoures, it's flipping hard to give them enough grazing area.
