Default Leopard rehomed

I am pleased to say a male Leopard tortoise has been rehomed by me . Thank's to Rachel, and Arlene of T.T., who let me take him and give him the best possible, Rachel had the tort for about a year and turned him around on diet and husbandry, previous in a viv, in an outbuilding with poor lighting and diet, believed to be about 7 years old. Day 2 and tucking in to weeds/plants, and an hour grass grazing, great.


Paul

Thank's Jase, the wire is well above him, the pic looks as though it is trailing, leading to a ceramic heat. It was a quick fix to get a set up going, Mercury lamp plus ceramic, since added a 6 foot tube heater today, to his enclosure, nice and warm now .

Well done Paul - he is lovely and looks like he has settled in well.
He seems in quite good shape considering his previous poor care. Rachel has done a very good job with him.
Good luck with him.
