The leopard tortoise for sale, native to South Africa, Ethiopia, and Somalia, is one of the largest tortoises. It gets its name from the markings on its shell that resemble the large spotted cat with the same name. Before committing to getting this tortoise, consider more than just the beautiful looks of this sizeable tortoise; it is long-lived, requires a lot of space, and has specific needs.
Leopard Tortoise Behavior and Temperament
Like other tortoises, leopard tortoises are slow, quiet, and not aggressive. They’re generally good-natured animals and not the most exciting of pets.
While a larger tortoise may mistake a finger for food, leopard tortoises are not known for biting people. They do not fancy frequently handling. If they feel threatened, they will likely retreat into their shells in their defense.
