leopard tortoises!male or female?

[Henry-flash]

Are the tortoises with you or your mum Surely it would be your mum incubating any eggs. I seem to be getting very mixed messages here. I'm a little confused and sadly can't even blame my age

Kim, please listen to the advise!!! Destroy the eggs, do not put them in an incubator, you are going to add to the problem by producing more leopards for reasons that have been explained.

Now if these tortoises are your mums why are you talking about incubating eggs??

IMO this is all getting really messy - I cannot believe after all has been said/done you are still NOT listening!

Just another thought; have you considered that they could actually be from the same clutch and therefore 'brother & sister' ???

Even if the pet shop said otherwise you have no guarantees as we all know the pet shop wanted the money and most talk cr*p !!

Pete I feel as though I need to say something here although we know we will always agree to disagree....

You say Leopards are not suited to the climate in this country..... have 3 Leopards who are doing just fine as do many other people on this site.

Kim, Whilst i do think its a good idea that you personally incubate any eggs for a long long time I strongly disagree that people who hatch Leopard eggs 'add to the problem'

Red foots grow to be very large tortoises - I dont see anyone telling people not to incubate and hatch Red Foots???

Deb i agree but did you mean to say DONT incubate?

I agree that yes they can be kept in this country and they can be kept well, but to keep adults suitably is not cheap and not for the average household. After speaking to a number of people who keep adult leopards they all agree that these tortoises are not ideally suited to our climate. I know we will never agree on this matter and this is a very controversial subject.

And before I go let me just say I have nothing against leopards as people have suggested in the past. They are beautiful tortoises and I have great respect for the people who fork out the huge electric bills that they can drum up over the winter months.

Oh what the hell! You go Kim, start breeding from possible clutch mates - they will all get on superbly with your sulcata and your partner will be delighted! No doubt with Glitter's support all will be just perfect for these tortoises!
