| Humidity: |
Leopard Tortoises come from an environment where
there is little humidity so that will need to be
maintained when you keep them as a pet. |
| |
|
| Lighting: |
When kept outside lighting will not be a concern
because your Leopard Tortoise will get plenty of
natural sunlight. Artificial UVB light will be necessary
if they are kept indoors. |
| |
|
| Size: |
The best habitat for a Leopard Tortoise is outside
however this is not always possible depending on
what kind of climate you live in. If you are keeping
your tortoise indoors be sure to give it plenty
of room to move around. Keep in mind that outdoor
enclosures are always best for tortoises of this
size. |
| |
|
| Substrate: |
Since Leopard Tortoises do not dig into their
substrates they have no special requirements for
substrates. |
| |
|
| Temperature: |
While being kept in captivity the Leopard Tortoise
should have a daytime temperature that reaches 85
degrees F. Nighttime temperatures can drop to anywhere
between 70 degrees F and 75 degrees F. Any lower
than that can be dangerous to your tortoises health. |
