Re: Tortoise
Some say its ok and some say not. I am afraid I am of the mind of 100% no dont do it. I had a huge sulcata walk over a large leopard and stood on its neck. It was lucky I was there on my way to removing the sulcata from the leopard enclosure and see what happened. If it wasnt there it could have been a very horrible story and a very expencive vet bill. Also think about pathogens that may crossover between the two species causing illneses that the other isnt accustom to.
I know its not what you want to hear but there is other reasons as well. As they gro the sulcata will need a lot more food than the leopard does and quite often a leopard would feel intimidated being in the vacinity of a larger tortoise.
I hope you have the room to keep these two beautiful species seperate because they really do need people who care looking after them.
