Leopard Tortoise

Scientific Name: Stigmochelys pardalis

Common Names: Leopard Tortoise

Overview
The Leopard Tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis) is one of the largest tortoises in Africa and is known for its striking, beautiful shell pattern that resembles leopard spots. Native to the savannas and grasslands of eastern and southern Africa, this tortoise can grow quite large and is appreciated for its calm demeanor and long lifespan. As herbivores, Leopard Tortoises graze on grasses, weeds, and other vegetation in their natural habitat. They are popular among reptile enthusiasts due to their relatively gentle nature and distinctive appearance.

Key Information
Size: 12–18 inches (30–45 cm)
Weight: 18–50 pounds (8–23 kg)
Lifespan: 50–100 years (with proper care)
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Calm, gentle, and inquisitive

Habitat & Setup
Habitat: Native to the dry savannas, grasslands, and scrubland of eastern and southern Africa. They prefer open spaces with access to plenty of food.
Outdoor Enclosure Size: Minimum 100 square feet for a single tortoise. Larger enclosures are recommended, especially for multiple tortoises.
Substrate: Natural soil, grass, and sand mix. Avoid cedar or pine wood shavings, as they can be harmful.
Shelter: Provide shaded areas where the tortoise can retreat from the sun. They also need a dry, safe place to rest.
Climate: Leopard Tortoises prefer warm temperatures with daytime ranges of 75–95°F (24–35°C) and cooler temperatures at night (around 65–75°F or 18–24°C). They should not be exposed to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Humidity: Low humidity is ideal. Ensure the tortoise has access to fresh water for drinking and occasional soaking.

Diet & Feeding
Diet Type: Herbivore
Suitable Foods:
Grasses, hay, and weeds (such as clover, dandelion greens, and plantain)
Leafy greens like collard greens, mustard greens, and dandelion greens
Vegetables like squash, cactus pads, and carrots in moderation
Occasional flowers like hibiscus and dandelions
Feeding Frequency: Offer fresh food daily. Ensure a varied diet with a focus on fiber-rich grasses and weeds. Avoid high-protein or high-fat foods, as they can cause health problems.

Care Notes
Activity Level: Leopard Tortoises are generally active, especially during the warm parts of the day. They enjoy grazing and exploring their environment.
Health: It’s important to provide a balanced diet with adequate calcium for healthy shell and bone development. Vitamin D3 and UVB light are also essential for proper calcium metabolism.
Social Nature: Leopard Tortoises are solitary in the wild but can tolerate the presence of other tortoises in captivity, especially if there is enough space for each to establish its own territory.
Breeding: They are egg layers, and females typically lay several eggs in a clutch. Incubation requires monitoring of temperature and humidity levels to ensure successful hatching.

Conservation Status
Conservation Status: Near Threatened (IUCN Red List)
Threats: Habitat loss and over-harvesting for consumption
Conservation Efforts: Leopard Tortoises are protected in many areas of their native range, and conservation efforts include habitat preservation and monitoring of wild populations. Breeding programs are also in place in zoos and wildlife centers to help protect the species.

Fun Fact
The Leopard Tortoise is named for the unique leopard-like spots on its shell, which can vary in pattern and color from individual to individual. These tortoises are one of the most attractive species, and their gentle nature and impressive size make them a fascinating addition to any reptile collection.

Functional not durable
Color: Grey, Size: 1 Large Panel
When first assembled, it looked exactly like the picture. However, over time, the top bar has begun to bow. The metal bars are weaker than I expected. It is still doing it's job providing privacy but the quality is not quite up to par. The height, color, and functionality are all exactly as described. If you need an inexpensive room divider, this is a great option. I don't expect it to last more than a year or two, but I would still recommend this product for those needing something fast, easy to assemble, and don't need for an extended period of time.

Excellent room divider
Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel
I have three of these from this company! 2 of them are 6 panel and one 8 panel (this one). A+ quality and wonderful with privacy. I have this on my screened in balcony and it withstands the wind pretty well. Fits right behind my giant plant pots. No assembly needed and it was long enough to cover the entire screened area. No more nosy neighbors! Great for Condos! Woohoo!

Great Divider
Comes assembled. It is heavy, but fairly easy to move and use. I’m 5’4, 110 and I can do it myself. It’s thick, it’s tall, it looks good, not sloppy or cheap. Doesn’t smell. Great room divider. We use it for our office between our desks.

Good purchase
Color: White, Size: 8 Panel
I bought this in white for use in a finished basement to hide equipment on the wall and create a nice space to place a bed. Because it doesn’t need to be moved and the room is temperature controlled, I expect it to last for a long time. The screen is pretty and I like that the woven material is not easily breakable. I’m pleased with the purchase.
