Smile My Leo's.... And the Hermanns!

I took these photos of the Leo's yesterday, unfortunately they were inside as the weather here was cold and horrible.

Clanger, Doozer and Fraggle


Clanger eating, which is always a joy to watch as he wasn't fed the correct diet for a Leo before I had him, and it took him a few weeks before he would eat.


Fraggle and Doozer.... I normally feed Doozer on his own as he pushes the two bigger ones out of the way and tries to eat everything there is!


And the Hermanns..
Boris is 5, Doris is 3 in August and the other two will be 1 this June.


Matilda and Florence... With Boris coming to see whether there is any food about!

Gorgeous pics Shelley

Do you keep all your Hermanns together? I wondered if the little ones had any problems from the bigger one if you do.

Are they all nicely settled into their lovely new accomodation now?

Yes I do keep the Hermanns together, although Boris is so much bigger the breeder of the other three said they would be fine.... And they are.

They love the new shed, so much more room for them when they can't be outside, of course that applies to the Leo's more than the Hermanns! They are all up and about when I go in the shed in the morning, the Leo's never were in the house!

Only problem I have with my shed is that the torts have messed it up, lol!

Excellent photos.

How long have you had the Leopards?

I've seriously got the bug again now. I would love one day to own some Leos, marginateds and my ultimate wishlist tort - aldabrans! Have to work on the other half though - all he sees them as is lots of extra work as I get him to build me things for them all the time!

Thanks.

One other question... are they adoptions... confescations... wild caught? If so did you have them treated? If so, for what?
