Very nice 
I always wondered what they looked like.
I once read that a Leopard Tortoise had been found in the stomach of a Puff Adder!!

leopard tortoises are great, I saw some massive ones at a breeders in California...these were giants.
Nice Pete, just wish we had the climate to be able to keep them in the UK easily.

Where is that mansion in the subtropics when you need it?
edit: could someone move this to the thread with the leopard tort?  |
best I could do Ron, it won't let me join posts from other threads
