Visual Excellence

The Arctic Aesthetic

High White Shell

Through generations of selective breeding, the yellow pigment is significantly reduced. The carapace exhibits a milky white base color that contrasts sharply with the bold black leopard markings.

Stark Contrast

Unlike normal leopards which blend beige and brown, Snows offer a black-and-white visual experience. This high contrast becomes more defined as the tortoise matures and grows larger.

Showpiece Quality

Snow Leopards are not a simple recessive trait but a line-bred achievement. Finding specimens with this level of "clean" white background is difficult, making them highly prized show animals.

Husbandry

Leopard Care Essentials

Warmth & Humidity

  • Warm & Dry Leopards prefer warm climates. Basking spot 35°C+. However, babies need humidity to prevent pyramiding.
  • Avoid Cold Damp They are susceptible to respiratory infections if kept cold and damp. Night temp should not drop below 24°C.

Nutrition

  • Grazers Diet should be 80% grass and hay. Weeds and flowers supplement this. Avoid sugary fruits.
  • Calcium Needs To maintain a smooth, white shell, consistent calcium supplementation and UVB are non-negotiable.
