Hi Matt,

The legs don't look very swollen from what I see. At this time of year, I would be somewhat concerned that the tortoise is not warm enough, depending upon where you live. Also if you are keeping that one with the one which is 8-10 inches (going by the growth you mentioned), is it getting enough to eat or being bullied away from the food? if you email me privately, I will send you my Care Sheet for Star Tortoises which have virtually the same needs as Leopards.

If you mention where you live in the email, I may be able to recommend a reptile vet in your area as well.

Bill Z
