baby leopard tortoise back leg problems

aaronb716 Mar 24, 2004 05:31 AM

I have a baby leopard tortoise that i bought about two weeks ago from a reptile expo and i have noticed that it has a problem with its back legs, its like that he cant walk on the bottom of his feet so he ends up walking on the,well i guess you would call it the ankle part of the leg , so i guess what i was wandering is if this is a common problem and he could grow out of it or if its not common and is going to need to be treated some how... THANKS
