Geochelone Pardalis Pardalis VS. Geochelone Pardalis Babcocki

abarton Oct 04, 2005 12:32 AM

I'm planning on purchasing some Geochelone Pardalis Pardalis hatchlings within the next couple of months. If you've purchased these in the past, how do you ensure your not getting babcockis instead? Any recommended breeders, I will be buying in bulk? Are there ways to tell a difference in the hatchlings?

thanks,
drew

easily in hatchlings. p. pardalis have multiple spots in every scute.
