My wee leopard tort is only a few months old. She has a basking spot of 35 C. have to ensure the temp never drops below 20 c (even at night!) so that he doesn't risk getting the sniffles.
He's fed on grasses and weeds only, never spinach (like other torts!) and nothing else, as leopards are an african (i think) grassland species.

He has a bath that he has every day. a water bowl and a food bowl (shallow so he can get in and out... he's tiny!)
and he has a pen that is about 4x2 feet (its homemade under our coffee table in the living room).
as a bed he has a mix of hay and shredded paper. gets nutrobol on food 4 times a week.
and a UV bulb the length of his tank. its on for 10 hours a day. the full spectrums are best. ours is a repti 10.0. he's a happy healthy baby tort and very sociable..
in my eyes, the best tortie species
