: Good question Joe! I did some reading and I did find that the record Leopard (what subspecies?) was 26in 105lbs.

: In captivity there is probably little difference. Again, although you often see them on price lists most experts agree that there does not really seem to be two subspecies.

: G. p. pardalis is said to be limited to South & southwestern Africa but there may just be a better food source there and the pattern could just be the result of a isolated gene pool. Before I get in over my head let me suggest you buy one of the many good books out there and/or email the Tortoise Trust, they may give more info.
