Well as most people will know i have made many threads about mxing different tort speicies and i have now ,ixed my Leopard and 3 Hermans, they have been together for 7 days in their 60x32x32 cage, and are doing excellent. They are always together and the Hermans have really brought the leopard out of his shell (Pardon the pun) He used to spend a lot of time hiding hes now always out. We are constantly on top of the cage keeping it clean. Ill keep you posted.

Keep us updated, that's pretty interesting.

Are they territorial to any extent? Could the increased activity be attributed to the tort wanting to "get away?" I'd just wonder about the effects of any long-term stress in the event that could be what's going on.

I agree. Keep a close eye on them. Their size differences are pretty apparent. Also remember that most reptile species don't need company to be happy and would rather be alone. Definitely keep us updated on how they are getting along. Good Luck!

I will guys no worrys there. Theres no territorial arguements they have plenty of space. and he leopard loves the company.
 
Nice looking leopard bruce, not sure if I've seen him before.
I think space and allowing their to be places to break line of sight with each other will be key to keeping them together.
