Hi all,
Im new to the forum, so forgive me if this has been discussed before. Im trying to find any information on Leopard Tortoises Geochelone pardalis. Does anyone have any recommended sites or books. From what I can find out you shouldnt allow these tortoises to hybernate. Is this true? Will they still slow down over winter even if kept inside with heating? What temperatures could I allow them to go down to with out risking their health.

Thanks
Asha
