No word of a lie, if you need any help with them I'd be happy to home any for a while. I'd be in heaven!

hi shell, your torts look great, id love to see a picture of your leopard enclosure or just some info on it as i will have to build one soon for my four leopards and i always do something and then realise how i could have done it better.

Also shell, i assume u breed your leopards so do u rehome them locally cos i only know of u jill and wellersbird and saucysqueeze who have torts round here, obviously through this forum. there are so many pet shops round here selling torts but i dont know any1 with a tort.

i usually sell through people i know giving ongoing support if needed.
i'll post some pics of their enclosure as soon as i can get out and take some.
all of their sheds have uv sun bulbs and infrared bulbs and ceramic s and are fully insulated
