Default Leopard danger!

When picking up one of my leopards yesterday I accidentally had a finger too close to an armpit and he snapped his leg in and it felt as though my finger had been caught in a door!!!! Ouch! Be warned peeps.
We grow a lot of plants here and what I do with my seedlings when they are a growing away nicely is to collect the leopard poo and put it in my watering trays so that I can give the young plants (and old) a soak in fertilised water. They look very well on it. If I place it round the plants in the garden the dogs feast on it so this is a better solution.

its not just the giants my Ibera's could also do that, I was always carefull moving them and Sid my male fastened on hubby's finger one time so hard we had to literally force his mouth open. But even small torts are capable of trapping fingers especially children's who've been known to drop the tort in pain/surprise.
